Abstract:
The War on Terrorism has changed the context of military recruiting. Initially, an outpouring of patriotism following the September 11th attacks boosted military recruiting. But as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan continue, it is becoming more difficult for the military to attract high quality recruits, most notably in the Army. While the percentages of high quality recruits recruited by each service branch have increased across the entire sample period in all the services except the Army, the trends in all the services are showing greater signs of decline indicating the mounting effects of the War on Terrorism are starting to have significant effects. This downward trend is especially evident using an alternative measure of high quality which more strictly differentiates between quality levels of recruits.
