The people in charge have nothing but contempt for workers. Rumsfeld felt that people were fungible and could be used wherever needed. They don’t understand the training and skills required. When you view the military as “cannon fodder,” and don’t respect them, this is the response you get.
They have never had to recruit people, so the concept of doing it is foreign to them.
Those who might enlist are looking at the treatment of those who have served, and realize the money and benefits you “might” get are not worth the risk.
They have broken the military again.
