Ever wonder why Generation Z seems to be shying away from military service? Today, we have the pleasure of discussing the topic with  Second Lieutenant Matthew Weiss, a Gen Z military officer himself and author of "We Don't Want You, Uncle Sam," to explore this pressing issue. Together, we unpack the unique characteristics of Gen Z, the obstacles stalling military recruitment, and Matthew's proposed solutions to bridge the gap.

Attention parents, we uncover the crucial roles veteran parents play in their children's decision to enlist. Get ready for candid talks about the realities of military life. Matthew lends his insights on how expressing the truth about our military career can boost recruitment.

Most importantly, we address female recruitment in the military. We highlight the struggles faced by female service members, the potential for recruiting more women, and the urgent need to tackle sexual assault in the military.
Lastly, we discuss how Matthew's book could be a game-changer in military recruitment strategies.
