They're actually facing massive recruiting problems right now. In part because the pay/reenlistment bonuses are not enough to retain people. Because people are becoming more aware of the serious cultural issues within the military. And also because as mental health treatment becomes less and less stigmatized among younger generations, more are getting diagnosed with things that disqualify them before they ever join. And things as simple as ADHD will outright disqualify you from joining.

Great point. I signed up in '99 and even back then my recruiter had me lying my ass off. I can't imagine what it's like now that everyone's records are so easily accessible.
