morale in general has gone down in general in the last couple of years
Biggest factor is who is in office. Former sailor here reporting in.

I was talking to a pilot from VAW-117 a year or so ago. They had recently come back from deployment during COVID. They did a 10 month deployment, he said when they could port, all they could do was stand on the pier for a few hours and go back aboard. Anyone who has done a aircraft carrier deployment will tell you that is brutal. Not surprised first tour sailors want out after that crap.
"Liberty" on the pier would suck hard. I would rather have a steel beach picnic out to sea than pull in and be confined to the pier. As to the suicide and desertion thing, Navy life ain't for everyone. Combine that with the fragility of younger generations and that's what you get.

So no one teaches them what this means in school... shite...at home for that matter.
They are used to wireless contracts. Another carrier will buy your current contract out if you switch now and then.

But today's nonsense must be on another level altogether. DoD must be an absolute shithole of an organization these days.
I spent 87 through 2011 in... lot of changes in those years, mostly bad... I remember being young and sitting around listening to some of the "old timers" talking about things not being how they used to be and a young person thinking "how could this be any better"...
Naturally, I became one of those "old timers"... One of the changes that was not brought on by DoD directly was the changes in the generations... Certainly, a lot of the kids coming in toward the end of my retirement were smarter than I was but they were very soft and getting softer as the years progressed...
DoD enabled this softness by parring things back in much of the IET that toughened the kids up and made them appreciate what they went through... DoD enabled the crap we have today and when you throw in all the social engineering and experimentation they have subjected the services to, there really should be no surprise where we find ourselves today...
This certainly doesn't surprise me...

Wow. The most woke branch has the lowest moral. Maybe catering to less than 5% of people makes that other 95% upset. Especially when the 5% are mental cases and freaks.

Also hard to have sympathy for people who “feel locked in” their enlistment contracts. That’s how it works
Kinda like student loans.

The biggest mistake Trump made during his presidency (besides not launching that midget Fauci to the sun) was not demanding the resignation of every military officer who was promoted under Obama. This should have been done within 24 hours of taking office. That communist shite needs to be purged from our military ASAP.
