I'm thrilled, but we can get those numbers lower.

Edit should have put this in the dunk tank.

They’ve essentially been taught that rules and law and order don’t matter and that the underlining American structure is to blame for any and all wrongdoing.

Lowest in...80 years? That doesn't sound right. Wasn't there like, a big war or something 80 years ago and the US conscripted a whole bunch of people?

1943 saw 8 million people in the US military, we have to go back to 1941 to see it smaller than it is today.

I was mainly joking, but I think it is interesting that they use the term "in 80 years" rather than "before ww2." The second paints a very different picture and might have Americans question why their military has needed to be so large, bigger than it was during the biggest war in history.
