Craig Morgan Says Ignorance Of Our US Military Is Nothing New, But You Won’t Burn The Flag Around Him: “That Won’t Happen If I’m Around”

Calling it like he sees it.

Country star Craig Morgan is currently enlisted as a soldier in the Army Reserve – which typically provides training and informational session about the Army all across the country. Those in the Army Reserve are also able to be deployed if the Army’s Total Force is ever needed.

Morgan reenlisted in the Army last summer after previously serving for 17 years as a staff sergeant and fire support specialist in the Army and the Army Reserve with the 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions. The country music artist actually got sworn back into the Army on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee.

On an episode of Fox & Friends earlier this year, Morgan was asked why he decided to enlist again, and he revealed that there were two big reasons why he chose to join back on and serve:

“Recruiting was worse than it had ever been in the history of our nation. It was terrible, and I felt like I could bring something to the table to help with that. Secondly, I served 17 years and I never got a letter that said, ‘Thank you for your service.’ I wanted that retirement letter so bad. So this was an opportunity for me to do that.”

The conversation quickly pivoted to the recent increase in U.S. Army recruiting in the past couple of months. The U.S. Army proudly reported they were seeing their best recruiting numbers in over a decade to begin 2025. The White House even posted a message to social media letting Americans know that in December, the Army had their best recruiting numbers in 12 years.

That trend continued into January, when the U.S. Army experienced recruiting numbers at levels that haven’t been seen in over 15 years. So the White House is chalking it up as win for the Trump administration:

“WE’RE SO BACK. The U.S. Army has achieved its highest recruiting numbers in 15 years, following a 12-year high in December. Under President Trump’s America First leadership, Americans are answering the call to serve.”
