Full Measure: October 29, 2023 - Military Recruits

As the war in the Mideast continues, we begin with its impact on the homeland here in America. The U.S. is sending new money and military aid to Israel to shore up operations after the surprise attack by the Islamic extremist terrorist group Hamas three weeks ago. The U.S. has already given tens of billions to Ukraine after Russia’s invasion. But we’re facing a crisis when it comes to keeping our own military strong. For decades, our armed forces have successfully operated as an all-volunteer element consistently meeting recruiting goals — until now. This has been the toughest recruitment year for the military since the draft ended 50 years ago. Why and what the Pentagon is doing to solve it is our cover story. --------- Full Measure is a weekly Sunday news program focusing on investigative, original and accountability reporting. The host is Sharyl Attkisson, five-time Emmy Award winner and recipient of the Edward R. Murrow award for investigative reporting. She is backed by a team of award winning journalists. Each week, we have a cover story that explores untouchable topics in a fearless way including: immigration, terrorism, government waste, national security and whistleblower reports on government and corporate abuse and misdeeds. Full Measure is broadcast to 43 million households in 79 markets on 162 Sinclair Broadcast Group stations, including ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CW, MyTV, Univision and Telemundo affiliates.
