Army Recruits Down The Australian Defence Force forecasts that young Australians will increase their usage of recreational drugs and suffer from obesity in higher numbers in the future. The findings came out of the Defence Force's internal recruiting plan, which found that the number of potential army recuits is deminishing. Increasing use of marijuana and obesity related to junk food were cited as the main reasons for the decline in the potential candidates. The ADF is having trouble recruiting for other reasons as well, including the ageing of the population and private sector competition.
