"No question, new enlistments are up. But it’s doubtful Trump is the sole or even a significant reason. Recruiting is way more complicated than that." @saddamscribe.bsky.social

Trump says he’s the reason military enlistments are up. Can it be true?
The armed services report a surge in new recruits. Trumps says it's because Americans are 'proud of our country again.' The reality is more complicated.
