0:24Now PlayingPaul Rieckhoff breaks down how divisive rhetoric and political litmus tests are affecting military recruiting. As standards shift and exclusions rise—like barring people with beards for religious or medical reasons—the military risks losing its sense of welcome and safety for all Americans. Rieckhoff warns that if this continues, the armed forces could become more narrowly aligned with one political base, raising hard questions about the military’s future and its role in American society.
