US vs. Russia: Watch These Two Military Recruitment Videos and You'll Quickly See Why We're 'So Screwed'

Move over, CIA. The Army’s new recruitment video takes wokeness to the next level, featuring lesbian moms, a same-sex wedding, equality marches, and more. 

Described by leftist outlets as a “tear-jerking queer story,” the new animated video is part of a series, “The Calling,” which showcases why five soldiers joined the Army. 

One video in the campaign features corporal Emma Malonelord, who operates the Patriot missile defense system.

“It begins in California, with a little girl raised by two moms,” Malonelord says. “Although I had a fairly typical childhood, took ballet, played violin, I also marched for equality.

“I like to think I’ve been defending freedom from an early age,” she continues.

After the pride parade, she talks about a tragic accident that left one of her mothers paralyzed, though she did make a recovery to eventually walk down the aisle to marry her other mother. 

As college graduation approached, Malonelord says she began “feeling like I’ve been handed so much in life, a sorority girl stereotype…but what had I really achieved on my own?”

“I needed my own adventures, my own challenge, and after meeting with an army recruiter, I found it,” she adds. “A way to prove my inner strength and maybe shatter some stereotypes along the way.”

Needless to say, the video was not confidence inspiring among conservative critics, especially when compared to the type of recruitment videos our adversaries are airing.

Yeah, we’re screwed. If you want a canary in the mineshaft, watch for the cancellation of the perpetual guard over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Egad, bland animation with narration by what sounds like a 12-year-old girl.

I miss the armed forces recruiting ads of my youth.
Army - Be all that you can be.
Air Force - Aim High
Marines - The Few, The Proud, the Marines
Navy - Live the Adventure

A real recruitment video versus a woke DC Cartoon.

This can’t be real. Has anyone checked to see if this is true?

Also contrast current US recruiting videos with Chinese PLA recruiting videos. China is very macho and shows hard power and patriotism.

REAL Communists (IE Russia, China, North Korea, Cuba, ect) have no time or tolerance for “Critical Race Theory” or LGBTQQ. So don’t radical Islamists. And these idiots don’t realize that they are playing right into the REAL communists hands and will be destroyed once they take over.

It’s real. It only took Biden 120 days to give us this, inflation, war in the mid east, increased price of insulin, fuel price increase, border crisis and other destructive things.

Just what the Army needs - more lesbians. We can’t win a war without them. A total of 7 women soldiers died during Vietnam while 45,000 male soldiers died. Guess which gender is more likely to have a mountain named after them.

They don't really care.

They are primarily self-hating and self-destructive, combined with enough malice and envy that they want to take the rest of us down before they go.

No point in trying to "educate them" as to the consequences of what they are doing. At some deep level, they already know.

Plan accordingly.

Make me sick that this is what our Country has become. Make no mistake, if there is ever a hot war against Russia and China we are toast.

The bad news is that they're planning to use the "woke" US military on what they perceive to be the biggest threat to the country -- its citizens.

The good news is that the "woke" army won't be able to fight its way out of a paper bag. They will be absolutely awesome at committing atrocities, though.

Here’s the translation.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqek78JXckw

This... is the first day of your new life.
What was yesterday means nothing now.
Who you were before, no-one cares now.
What’s important now is—who you’ll be today.
What do you know about yourself?
What are you capable of?
Questions may remain unanswered, but can you sleep soundly later on?
Knowing yourself, knowing the limit of your possibilities...
To hell with limits.
Are you ready to break yourself?
Every day, pain hardens you here.
It was you who decided to prove something to yourself.
The commander is here only for you to see an enemy in him, because without the enemy, there is no battle. Because without battle, there is no victory.
But in reality, the main enemy is you.
The you of yesterday.
Your task is to track the enemy down, catch up to him, outperform him, become better than him, and return the victor.
Because tomorrow is the first day of your new life.

I "fixed" it for this regime's new 'woke' excuse for a military:

This is the first day of your new life.

What was yesterday leads to a new you.

You will be coddled and cared for.

Let us reinforce your self-image.

We'll help you become the sex you think you really are.

Trust us implicitly and sleep soundly with a provided teddy bear.

Learn to be a new you, prepared to punish society for it's misunderstanding and archaic morality.

There are no limits.

Are you ready for the government-provided surgery to change?

It won't be painless but the decision will be worth it.

It was you who decided to prove something to yourself.

The support staff is ready to hold your hand every step of the way on your journey to self-actualization and help you discard that hated gender.

The you of yesterday newly changed free of charge and free to leave after a mere two years.

You'll have the opportunity to track your bullies down, make examples of them and forever silence criticisms of your choices and sanity.

Tomorrow is the first day of your new life.

Thank you!
That was fun.

But I had to rewatch the video to clear out a couple of the passages resonating in my brain.

Very good.
