Confidence in the military has fallen to its lowest point in over 20 years in the United States, according to new data released by Gallup.

As Statista’s Anna Fleck reports, in a survey conducted in June, 60 percent of respondents said that they had either a “great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in the military. The last time it was this low was in 1997, and prior to that in 1988, when confidence levels dipped to 58 percent.

Gallup analysts highlight how confidence in the military has declined since the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

[Can’t imagine why. But most of that opprobrium should be reserved – for the moment – for seniro officers, enlisted leaders and this revolting group of unAmerican civilians. But the infection is spreading throughout the ranks thanks to what they’re encouraging to join and who they’re DIScouraging. It’ll be a total loss, unrecoverable in no time if we don’t put the freakin’ brakes on this madness NOW. ~ Beege]
