Shows and content featuring MrBeast, Kelly Clarkson, and Guy Fieri were approved to receive production support from the Department of Defense last year, according to documents obtained by Rolling Stone. The charm offensive comes at a time when military recruitment has hit historic lows, and both defense officials and members of Congress are seeking new ways to recruit young people into the armed services.

According to a Government Accountability Office report last month, Generation Z or “zoomers” have seen more than a 10 percent decline in military favorability, with only 35 percent holding favorable views in 2021, down from 46 percent in 2016. “The military services recognize that young people communicate or receive information increasingly through digital media,” the report says. “According to the Army’s advertising agency, younger generations view the real world through social media discussions, videos, and memes, which influences their values and beliefs.”

Think it'll work?

[Billthedrill]

Probably not. What was the sine qua non of the recruiting issue was the accession to office of Trump and the displacing of a team of civilians and senior commanders who (1) hate the country, and (2) would and did happily sacrifice service members' lives to private interests or to see the country damaged, and (3) regarded the military services as a playpen for deviant sexual social experimentation. Enough heads roll and maybe the recruiting will improve. No activity to address all that and they won't.

Wow is Mr. Beast?

I never heard of him until a month ago.

Seems he’s a billionaire who made his $$$ from being the biggest YouTube Channel provider on the inner webz.

Did these people produce the recruitment ads featuring drag-queens, cross dressers and pro-homosexuality???

Like these affluent stars need the money. Wonder if they're all Biden supporters?

Not sure about the recruitment ads, but Mr Beast has a trans co-star.

I’ve always believed that Mr. Beast was a psy-ops operation. It would help explain how he has thousands or tens of thousands to blow on his videos.

I find Mr. Beast very creepy. Somehow he is off center in a weird way.

I just learned of him NOW!
