Worth noting that enlistment numbers have been dropping steadily since the Iraq War and all the nakedly manipulative, creepy, and cynical recruitment tactics haven't changed that.
This is sick, diseased shit, but it isn't particularly effective. No more than two decades of Transformers / Marvel movies sponsored by these dorks or a battalion of recruiters trying to hit people up via gamer lobbies.
For every e-girl twerking to Grand Old Flag, there's a dozen channels of actual veterans showing their stumped limbs and melted faces and talking about what a hellish stupid ugly job an enlisted soldier has.
before: fight our enemies and you get university education, a solid factory or white collar refrigerator sales job, and a house that will all work to fully embed you within capitalist logic (whites only).
now: fight our enemies and 𝑨𝒉𝒆𝑮𝑨𝑼 𝑮𝒐𝒕𝒉 💀 will retweet your KIA report after you're blown apart by a drone that cost $7.27 to make
Dudes be joining the military with >70% other dudes to try to get pussy when they could be going to a dance class with >70% women who you get to touch smh
Or a yoga class where you can get fit and flexible and show off in front of women

Michael Douglas in Falling Down
I need to watch this movie it sounds awesome
It's super reactionary on the surface, but that's kind of the point. Sadly most people just idolised the obviously unhinged right-wing protagonist. Definitely a good watch though.
we need to ban satire until people understand it again
Yeah, but it was really obvious satire
Falling Down asks you to look at the white guy facing small discomfort after small discomfort and then realizing that he is completely unjustified in carrying out a crime spree because the black cop going after him faces just as much bullshit without snapping and going on a rampage
Your average whitey ain't gonna do that, they see Michael Douglas getting mad that McDonald's isn't serving breakfast and go "THAT COULD BE ME!"
Doesnt matter whether it’s nationalism or mommy milkers getting them to do so.
Well in the early 1900's they were like; literally the exact same thing, weirdly.
During WWI there was a movement in Britain called the White Feather Movement in which women would publicly give white feathers to any man not in uniform as a symbol of shame and cowardice.
The fact that many of the men who got those white feathers were discharged wounded, soldiers on leave, or workers in essential war industries didn't seem to discourage the women.
Didn't the last Army sponsored gaming stream get raided and dunked on by anti-war protestors?
Yeah. And then if I remember right, hilariously, a court said that the Army violated federal law by banning people from it.
We need an emoji that just a gif of the Tex Avery wolf bonking himself
He's bonking himself because he knows he's wrong to be horny
Sometimes, when I hear about military recruiters, I think "they never went to my school though". Then I remember that I went to a private school for learning differences.
None at mine either, private religious school where you were either an elite athlete, a 140 IQ genius, or had extremely wealthy parents. Hmmmmm.
At what point are we going step back as a society and realize this shit is pathetic? I'm sure our rivals don't need to use softcore porn to meet their recruiting targets. This is some real imperial decay shit right here.
US military has been failing to hit it's recruitment targets for years now. Mostly because American young people are too fat/insane/depressed/addicted to drugs to pass the basic physical and mental requirements, and not because of based reasons. It's like only 20% of that age range is potentially healthy enough to serve which is kind of insane. Hope we won't need to fight a big war soon lol
Maybe they think they can trick horny teenagers into getting into shape and joining the military if they believe there is some hot gurl waiting for them. I doubt it.

welp, that's enough of reading that.
