People Notice Curious and Sudden Lack of Diversity in New Army Recruiting Ad

[Gateway Pundit] It’s well known at this point that the United States Military is having recruiting issues. Like every other institution in America, the military has embraced wokeism and has been prioritizing progressive concepts like diversity, equity and inclusion.

So when this new recruiting ad dropped recently, people immediately noticed that this one is slightly different in terms of who is represented.

Take a look below:

💪 Together, we can take on any challenge.

#1 Someone got a hint from Budweiser advertising? How's their sales turning around?

#2 Army recently sent short/no-notice PCS orders to about 800 NCOs directing them to report to recruiting school. Obviously forcing people to sell a product nobody wants will bear fruit. Time to bring Joe Isuzu out of retirement.
I think this effort will pay off handsomely./sarc/

#3 Maybe they really are thinking about fighting Russia and fear the woke army would not do well. Of course, they could always revive the draft.

#4 It shows a bunch of men, mostly though not exclusively white, cooperatively executing something dangerous. Which is pretty much how I've always pictured the United States military.

#5 My son is an E8(promotable) training medical people, and was told that they would like him to help in the recruiting push. He told them, ya know, I'm eligible to retire right now.
They said never mind.

#6 /\ Hat tip to your son Ed. Laying that upcoming E9 promotion on the line took courage.

USN,

It gets better than that. The reason for the sudden panic is that the Army somehow lost track of how many people were going through the recruiting schoolhouse and staying on as recruiters. They're something on the order of 45% shorthanded an didn't realize it until the FY was over.

And FWIW, I used to describe the USAF enlisted recruiting leadership as 'Joe Izuzu with a homicidal streak.'

#8 I'm not sure I would be interested in any dangerous vocation which The Chiefs don't take seriously.

'We have the greatest military in history....join up for change!"

Wonder how much of the target audience spent their prime fighting WoT, only to watch Obama drop Iraq and Brandon hand over the keys and the wallet to Afghan?

#9 Generation Z isn't interested in any jobs that actually require going to the workplace.
