Perhaps folks aren't enlisting because they don't believe in the cause(s) they will be asked to fight for. Lots of folks, for example, disagreed with the Vietnam war, and the Iraq war. If you told me that by enlisting, I would have been shipped off to fight Iraqis, I would have said "no thanks."
Sadly, I don't think our military is being used to keep us safe and free these days. Hell, even the Border Patrol isn't being used for that. The military, and the BP, are being used as foreign policy aids. See the examples of BP folks who actually DO repel foreigners, with force. They get locked up, just like Ramos and Compean.
