Do you remember when the testosterone-driven “Top Gun” was the ultimate recruitment tool for the US Navy? It’s easy to see why—the movie was packed with adrenaline, rugged men, beautiful women, and plenty of what’s now termed “toxic masculinity.” Contrast that with today’s military, which has totally shifted focus. Instead of seeking out traditionally masculine men, their recruitment now heavily includes the LGBTQ community and men who wear pantyhose. This change might be why their recruitment numbers are in the toilet.
The United States military’s newest recruitment tactic is taking a really bizarre turn. Gone are the days of scouting for robust young men at gyms or high school football practices. Now, they’re adopting a different strategy: dressing up as anime characters and visiting “conventions” across the nation.

I guess you can press a button or serve a ladel of soup dressed as a woman.
My first thought.
They should just hire 4chan.
What about those clean-cut Nazi guys we see at protests....can’t they go and recruit them? They seem to get into flags...can dress in mil-attire, and march.
Maybe they can recruit some Frogger players. Like for the Coast Guard ("land guys" only).
The German Wandervogel youth movement groomed an entire generation of young German young men into eromenos for the NAZI Leadership. Hitler himself was heavily involved in male homosexual prostitution in Vienna and Munich while a starving artist…
Whoever runs the United States military’s recruitment is also insane
1970’s-we had a guy that reminded me of Lennie in Of Mice And Men. Totally unqualified to serve. Viet Nam was going on so they let him in with the idea he’d have 2 years to get up to snuff-didn’t happen. The first sergeant had to get him to take a bath.
What could possibly go wrong?
Our Army has become like the gallows, they refuse no man, woman, or it.
Is this part of the Biden make better 5-13 million new jobs? Didn’t the military have 12M job openings once before in my life time? The Democrats filled those openings with the new employees and they were sent over seas to work. I can see it happening again. Want to fill the quotas, look what is coming into this country, draw from them, train them and lets see who will end up controlling them? Yeah, the draft is not popular, but if we still had it, our NG and Reserve Units would not be looking for recruits, they’d be over strength with lines of volunteers trying to get in. Base Pay for a RA Pvt. today is $1917.60. It sure beats the $71 a month I got in the early 60’s. With the draft, we who served, got to know our neighbors, as it took in everyone, which led to a bonding experience for all. It was a good thing, not something to run away and hide from. My time is almost over now, be interesting to see where we go from here, but I doubt I will. As I said it the past, I lived in the best times of the USA and I’m grateful.The IKE - Kennedy yrs. were the best.
LOL... 100%
Ping.
Sounds like the guy was one of SecDef McNamara’s “100,000.” It was his program to get more draftees by dramatically lowering the mental qualifications required, essentially drafting those who would have been deemed “mentally unfit” for service.
Thank you. When his 2 year ‘probation’ was up they couldn’t let him go.
