"Because of drug use, obesity or health concerns, it's just a smaller pool than it was even two years ago," Feaver told Fox News Digital. "These are the big drivers."

At the heart of that issue, Feaver said, is the politicization of the military by both parties. Feaver cited a Gallup poll released In July that showed public confidence in the military at 60%, noting that while that number compares favorably to other U.S. institutions, it represents a worrying trend for the military.
