There is a ton of truth in bumper sticker humor, which is precisely what makes it so funny- the truth buried therein.For years I collected a variety of bumper stickers which I used as “go-to” humor when audiovisual equipment failed. One sticker strikes home as America struggles to fill police, military, and other first responder positions across the land.“WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS, LOWER YOUR STANDARDS!” That is precisely what many branches of the military face today. The recruits are just not there.All the branches of the military are fighting the same problem that every sector of public service is facing.
