A Tale of Recruitment Ads
China “ I am disciplined“
Russia “ I am ready for war“
America “ I have two mommies“
Published in General
Oh. Wow. And told in cartoon form, no less.
Girl, you ain’t ready for war.
Oh my…
Someone (probably at flag level) had to approve this &%#@.
That someone should be court-martialed just out of general principle. How could they embarrass the US Military in such a fashion?
Is there such a thing as cis-military?
Crimenutely.
Julia** goes to war.
Heaven help us.
The people approving this nonsense have embarrassed themselves. The rest of us, including any and all rational members at all ranks of the armed forces should be very angry. I should think Vlad and Xi are wetting themselves with laughter.
**It’s not as easy to find the original Life of Julia on the web as it once was. She seems to have largely been scrubbed. Here’s what Fox had to say at the time: https://video.foxnews.com/v/1622104534001#sp=show-clips

That was appalling, worse, it was embarrassing. I am embarrassed for my country. I shouldn’t be surprised. The elite want us to believe that men can become women and women can become men simply by saying it is so. If you believe that kind of fantasy, you will believe that a cartoon character can easily defeat hardened, trained, and motivated soldiers like the ones in the Russian and Chinese recruitment films. No wonder Biden got elected!
I wonder if the new Secretary of Defense is responsible for this. Our military is happy to attack Tucker Carlson but will be clobbered in a war with China.
When I was in the Air Force, the joke was combining
Army, “Be All You Can Be”
Air Force, ” Aim High”
into
“Be As High As You Can Be”
I’m really afraid what will happen if we fight either Russia, China or even Iran.
Worst case scenario all three combine to stomp us.
Only a Dutch boy can save us.
It that war we haven’t got a prayer.
That is terrifying.
So what does an 18 year old male, great athlete, military family, who is anxious to enlist and apply to be a Navy seal do when he sees this? Move to Russia?
Say he identifies as a girl and has two Dads, I guess.
This is so depressing. Sigh! I can’t say what I want to. What is happening o our country?!
But at least one of the moms is somewhat butch so that makes her daughter perfect for the military. /sarc off/
The important thing is she is being ‘challenged.’ Don’t worry about your country – who gave you and ‘your 2 moms’ all those freedoms.
I’m staying away from rope today as I have a strong desire to hang myself.
I once asked a civilian woman who was working aboard one of the US Navy’s first feminized ships during an operational deployment, “How is it going on that ship?”
She replied, ”Well, frankly it’s a floating brothel.”
No doubt the ship’s Captain was given a medal at the completion of her ship’s highly successful, history making deployment.
I thought the “I have two mommies” was a joke- then I watched the video. It was cringe-inducing. Not only did the ad fail to inspire any sort of patriotic spirit or inspire me to sign up, it actually offended me and cast our military in a poor light. It made it less likely that I would want to join. It was a failure on every level- which shouldn’t come as a surprise considering who is running the government.
A few thoughts:
I can only hope that this plague of woke rubbish runs it’s course quickly, before it can do more damage than it already has.
That worked with Sparta but it the idea behind Sparta was to have sex with other dudes in other to become more masculine and improve your martial technique and discipline. I don’ think that’s what the USA ad is going for.
We need a gay comic who might note even be conservative to lambast this.
Spartan mothers to their sons: “Come back with your shield or on it”.
Something tells me Emma’s two mommies won’t be telling her that.
“Come back with your protest sign, or with a different protest sign!”
Well, it’s far from the first time…

And, yes, the ship received the Navy Unit Commendation for her “exemplary” service during the Gulf War. (Groan)
Well put…
The Love Boat….
“There’s colorful precedent for such disaster. When the USS Acadia, a supply ship, was on deployment during the Gulf War in 1991, 36 women in the crew of 360 were transferred to shore duty because they came home in a family way. “
