New US Army Recruitment Video. Maybe not a great look?

A-Team and Rambo v. Disney Princess.

I'm no flag-waiving patriot, but if you need any more proof that the U.S. is being destroyed by pernicious termite socialism within, you are deaf, dumb and blind, er "differently abled".

Some say Korean Conflict & Viet Nam Conflict were Proxy Wars versus Soviet Union. Korean Conflict & Viet Nam Conflict, U.S. troops actually fought troops who were Chinese infantrymen. U.S. had tough guys in U.S. military until H.W. Bush purged tough guys who enlisted with criminal records. Now, U.S. Military Industrial Complex merely is a jobs program.

God damn this is a joke just like covid. US military should be ashamed of themselves. This type of BS would have never happened under Trump

The ad is targeted towards woke people because we have an ample amount of the masculine demographic already? I mean, if it gets more people to join the army... 🤷‍♂️

Lmao that was so cringy. Wtf kind of army are they lookin to build with a promo video like that?

Yeah, there is already a large demographic for which it is compulsory to join the military because otherwise those people couldn't justify their "patriotism." So logically recruitment should target demographics outside of the stereotypical standard.

Can we hire the Chinese army to protect us? We outsource a lot of things to China already. They look pretty bad ass.

Kind of don’t feel well protected right now for some reason.

sorry but its true wrote:

Bone spurs Donny.

Given the fact that a portion of our military are white supremacists a-holes it’s probably good to get some different types of people in there

Also I would guess the OP would be nowhere close to joining the military

Is this a joke? Dang the Chinese and Russian ads are amazing....is that really a US recruitment ad though? Crazy!

This is better.

The USA Should RAISE STANDARDS, so that no one gets into the USA Military unless they can better Russia's Gold Standard. That way our Worst would be better than their best.

Just saw this new US army recruitment video and I couldn’t believe it was actually put out by the US military. I know we live in an age of “woke” but this seems to be something out of a Disney princess movie.

The video below shows a Chinese military recruitment video-Russian military recruitment video-and then the new American recruitment video back to back to back.

I think the Chinese and Russians unfortunately got their recruitment campaigns right while the American ad looks like an advertisement for a new “woke” Disney movie.

Jesus Christ, what did I just watch? I’m all for putting women into military recruitment campaigns but do we really have to go the whole Disney Princess route?

I get it’s 2021 and we have to be all woke and PC but perhaps the military, where the main goal is to mercilessly crush your enemies, isnt the best time or place to go full politically correct.

You are my genie.

Rather than Red Dawn, I think we are going to experience a Pink Sunset.

I surprise GI Josephine is wearing a helmet and not a knit pink pssy hat.

That was hard to watch. On some level I get that the point of a recruitment video is to pander to the target audience. And clearly the target is young liberals, which I didn’t get at first but as someone pointed out, they have the most room to grow there, they’re already getting the machos. But it shouldn’t be such blatant pandering ya know. I don’t consider myself that target audience, but if I were I would be turned off by how plastic and hollow and pandering that came off as. As if the comic book style and the diversity wasn’t enough, the female protagonist had 2 moms and they marched in Pride. They weren’t really trying to hide it haha, nothing wrong with it really, but they didn’t hide the pandering to any degree, which I think is less effective.

I wonder about the inner debate of the big muscled macho man who approved this - “dam that’s a sissy video but dam I want those recruits and it might just work”

Eh.....there are a TON of videos on GoArmy.com. Not everyone is going to agree with every video. Who cares? The Army needs bodies. Once they are in then we can shape them to fit where we need them.

So I guess the video that the slack jawed knuckle draggers are bleeding their eyes over is from a series called The Calling showing different reasons Soldiers join the Army. I'm assuming they are real stories or dramatizations.

Another one:

Calling them "recruitment" videos is a stretch.

Alan

So real talk....

It's funny how people feel like it's ok to bash teachers, police, Military or other such publicly funded jobs. No one bashes the engineer, your barista, your grocer, your IT guy....but hey yes let's get on a public forum and bash the Military.

Many of you I think just have a problem with authority and following directions. The Military is easy as long as you follow the directions.....like these young Recruits:
