More than 75% of young Americans are unfit for military service for medical reasons - most of them would not consider military service for themselves in general In the United States, about 77% of young people are unfit for military service, said Kathy Helland, director of enlistment policy at the Pentagon. During a roundtable discussion on U.S. Army recruiting in 2025, she also noted that young people between the ages of 17 and 24 are, for the most part, simply not fit for military service for medical reasons - a factor that has become a problem for recruiting into the U.S. military. In addition, the U.S. Department of Defense noted that for the first time in its history, the country is facing a situation in which almost all young people are not considering serving in the military.
