Army recruiters are struggling to meet enlistment goals, and they say one of their biggest hurdles is getting back into high schools so they can meet students one on one.

Ah, the Army is complaining school teachers and leaders aren't welcoming to recruiters in highschools.
Hmm, maybe recruiters should stop trying to try to go after the younger, more impressionable people in vulnerable settings (and schools are vulnerable settings, where adult power over kids is the highest), and instead approach people who are already over 18 to begin with.
Otherwise, maybe the recruiters should get used to a hostile atmosphere in schools when they try to get more access to kids who are not able to say no to school assemblies and other coercive methods of trying to get kids close to recruiters.
Edit: As someone else put it: "
The complaint by the Army basically boils down to "our prime recruitment demographic knows too much about the shitty conditions and is telling us to fuck off""
Which is the running theme with the military; hiding bad conditions and shitty behavior from recruits in favor of propaganda flavored views of the US military.
