    Worth noting that enlistment numbers have been dropping steadily since the Iraq War and all the nakedly manipulative, creepy, and cynical recruitment tactics haven’t changed that.

    This is sick, diseased shit, but it isn’t particularly effective. No more than two decades of Transformers / Marvel movies sponsored by these dorks or a battalion of recruiters trying to hit people up via gamer lobbies.

    For every e-girl twerking to Grand Old Flag, there’s a dozen channels of actual veterans showing their stumped limbs and melted faces and talking about what a hellish stupid ugly job an enlisted soldier has.
