The US Army released its latest recruitment advert to promote the no-nonsense approach of the Trump era - and the differences between the Biden-era adverts were stark.
In the latest video released this week, a tattooed Special Forces fitness trainer performed huge feats of strength in the gym, including deadlifting 500lbs raw.
The clip also showed the burly trooper lifting a heavy yoke over his shoulders, before he says to the camera: 'Stronger people are harder to kill.'
Viewers quickly compared the latest advert to one pushed out by the military in May 2021, during the Biden administration.
The ad, titled 'Emma', told the story of Army officer Emma Malonelord, who operates the Patriot Missile Defense Systems, showing her from her childhood being raised by two moms.
She begins the clip saying: 'Although I had a fairly typical childhood, took ballet, played violin, I also marched for equality... I like to think I have been defending freedom from an early age.'
The story went on to show how Emma gained confidence from watching one of her moms re-learn to walk after an accident so she could walk down the aisle to marry Emma's other mother.
Viewers took to social media to slam the 'Emma' ad as the 'most hated military recruitment advert of all time', and said the newer ad showed the military had entered a new era under Trump.
Malonelord came under fire after appearing in the 2021 military advert, with Texas Senator Ted Cruz blasting the promotional video to his millions of followers.
'Holy c***' Cruz tweeted at the time. 'Perhaps a woke, emasculated military is not the best idea.'
The 'Emma' advert was viewed over five million times, but the Army YouTube account removed the comments section after it received backlash.

I still wouldn’t join up. The culture there still doesnt give two craps about white guys.
the next Democrat president will simply pass over anyone not black, gay or a woman for promotion. So what is the point of joining? There is no future.
There are activities that you can’t duplicate in civilian life, any young man wanting to do lots of cool stuff should pull a hitch.
It’s gonna be a long long time before we have anther democrat President.
Thats an awfully big assumption on your part, that these young enlisted will do “a lot of cool stuff.”
There is way more uncool stuff they will be doing quite a bit of.
You kinda sound like one of those recruiters who have the gift of vibrant embellishment.
The Democrats are doubling down on the woke stuff.
It looks like JD will be 47's successor.
By the time the next Democrat gets in the White House, it'll be 2032.
So I think it's possible that the party may shift closer to the center in order to get the votes they need to win.
1992 was only 4 years after the end of Reagan's 2nd term.
JD Vance is not George Bush.
Sadly.
I hope we don’t have another rat President for 1000 years.
Which shows how ignorant they are.
Wow, your imagination ran away with you posting all that about my simple statement.
I did lots of cool stuff and everyone who serves does at least some cool stuff and young men looking for adventure and fun experiences tend to get into units that have it.
In both the Air Force AND the Army, every direct superior above me was black, with exception of 1.
I did. From boot in PI, and then again couple training schools, went to a heavy haul CH-53 squadron out in Tustin. Went a lot of places and did a TON of cool stuff.
Let me know when they can fly helos again.
Between helicopter collisions and CVN collisions I think our military needs remedial training. They can’t navigate sea or air
Then just go fill the tub with warm water, lay down in it, and slit your wrists. Vertical than horizontal. Give in to Satan. I will put my faith in God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit! With those three, there is always hope!
Stupid response to that post,
Gotta go with ansel on this.
For an 18 year old (usually), military service will be a mind expanding experience, physically and even more so mentally.
Most post high school civilians will not soon fire weapons, run obstacle courses, learn survival skills, ride helos and/or 130s, not to mention leadership, explosives training, unit function, discipline, emergency first aid/medical...And very few will travel thousands and thousands of miles so soon.. and that’s just the beginning,
Was a very good possible start before the OsamaBidenMilley et.al treasonous subversion of the military
“It’s gonna be a long long time before we have anther democrat President.”
Knock on wood.
