Americans are not informed enough about the roles and functions of the U.S military. That’s a bad thing.

Military spending in the U.S. has increased in recent years and discretionary spending on defense exceeds the same on several other budget areas, such as education and environmental protection.

[My Military @MyMilitaryMvmt]

Given the amount of spending on defense and the military, it is of the utmost importance for American civilians and voters to understand where their investments are going.

When most people envision the military, it conjures images of troops in combat, expensive weapons systems, or foreign bases.

In reality, the military provides many more services than the stereotypical combat or stealth operations. Learn about a few of these services below.

Although climate change is acknowledged for its economic and social impacts, the effect that it has on the military is rarely recognized.

[My Military @MyMilitaryMvmt]

Citizens should be aware of the threat that climate change is to military operations, especially considering its rapid increase.

[My Military @MyMilitaryMvmt]

Military service has fallen significantly through the 21st century. As the percentage of veterans and active duty service members in the American electorate decreases, the direct connections that Americans have with the military fade.

[My Military @MyMilitaryMvmt]

This means that fewer voters have an understanding of the duties and role of the military.

How can this be combatted? By creating a way for Americans to be more informed about the military, its actions, and its role across the world.

We’re a group of young professionals aspiring to educate Americans about the U.S. military... but we’re also a group of friends and young women, hoping to share our passion for diplomacy with the world through social media

Americans are not informed enough about the roles and functions of the U.S military. That’s a bad thing.

[My Military @MyMilitaryMvmt]

We want to change that, by providing a non-partisan and independent resource where Americans of all ages can turn to learn more about what the military does and how it impacts their everyday lives and the lives of those around the world.
