The Department of Defense must improve its messaging to clearly show what the military does to provide stability and opportunity in order to appeal to a wider demographic.

“I think it's a communication problem on Department of Defense side I think we failed to clearly show what we do”

Matt Walsh asserts that the military should focus its recruitment messaging on the masculine, combat-oriented nature of its mission rather than progressive social values.

“one is to tell them that the military is a place where you know small ptite women can follow their dreams and make their lesbian moms proud that's one strategy and it's a strategy that the military has been using for a while the other is to tell them that the Army is a place for strong badass dudes ”

Derrick Broze believes that individual participation in military systems is a harmful dependency that should be avoided.

“I think the solution is for us to vote every day with our actions. You know what exit and build is kind of one way I explain to people is it's like the idea of voting with your dollar, but instead of just talking economically, you're talking about voting with your actions in all areas of your life.”
