Determining why the general populations does something or does not do something is always tricky.

Shrinking number of uniformed personnel may be due to growing numbers of military contractors.

Defense contractors did benefit from the war in Afghanistan and supposedly pocketed nearly half of the $14 trillion spent by the Department of Defense since 9/11. Those same military contractors hired were given major war-zone logistics like operating fuel convoys and staffing chow lines. But they also carried out critical work like training and equipping Afghan security forces.
So I do believe it would be important for Americans to examine and understand the role and reliance private contractors played in the post-9/11 wars. And how they will effect our future capabilities.

We are allowing contractors to fill a void, something like Russia is doing with their Mercs. It's not a good look.
