ARLINGTON, Va. — Officials at the Pentagon have expressed concerns that plunging morale among American service members may be affecting service member morale, sources revealed today.
"We at the Department of Defense are deeply worried that the growing apathy of America's war fighters may have a negative impact on America's ability to fight wars," said Pentagon spokesperson Maj. Ed Marquand.
"Though we are at present unsure of the exact root of the growing malaise, our researchers suspect that it may have something to do with almost two decades of perpetual conflict, a gradual decline in America's international prestige, or endemic inefficiency across the military industrial complex."
