Russian vs China vs U.S. Army Recruitment Ads

The new US Army ad is certainly cringeworthy. How embarrassing.
Still . . . it doesn't take a hairy-chested alpha male named Bruce to push a few buttons and obliterate people/villages/towns. cities etc...
Wolf warriors vs Woke warriors.
I’ve just seen the Cruz story mentioned above.

I didn’t think the ad had anything to do with being pansy-like. I just didn’t see the point of a cartoon about the unconventional family life of a soldier having anything to do with her being a soldier. It isn’t like the Army turns people down because of their family. It just doesn’t seem like an advert for recruiting soldiers.
In Australia, if you were gay you often joined Qantas. Now you just join the military.

The US recruiting ads was pulled after strong critics...
This is not good for the moral of the service. There is no need to mainstream this kind of stuff.

Hampshire UK had many navy army bases. My friends band used to play gigs at them. There were always females shipped for the troops from other bases. Although the local drag queens were by far the most entertaining.
Comment section removed from Army recruiting ad featuring soldier with two moms
Two weeks ago, the Army’s official recruiting website released a series of animated advertisements showcasing the stories of several soldiers on their journey to join the nation’s oldest branch.
One in particular features Cpl. Emma Malonelord, a soldier raised in California by two moms.
Since its upload to YouTube, however, this video’s comment section has been disabled. It currently has nearly a million views, 36,000 dislikes and only 775 likes.
“Beginning May 12 we started noticing a significant uptick in negative commentary,” Laura DeFrancisco, public affairs chief for the Army Enterprise Marketing Office, told Army Times. “The comments violated our social media policy and were not aligned with Army values. Out of respect for the safety and wellbeing of our soldiers and their families, we have disabled the comments.”
Hers is one of five stories selected by the branch for recruiting advertisements under the series, titled “The Calling.”
“The Army conducted a worldwide search across the forces for Soldier stories to support the campaign, receiving nearly one hundred inspiring entries,” according to a release.
“After settling on a shortlist of potential candidates, stories were tested to assess their resonance with today’s youth,” the release added. “The final ‘cast’ provides a rich tapestry of stories that represent the diverse upbringings and life experiences that make up today’s Army.”
This afternoon, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, responded to a tweet about the ad campaign, which compared Malonelord’s recruiting ad to that of Russian soldiers, remarking, “Holy crap. Perhaps a woke, emasculated military is not the best idea....”
The comment section for Malonelord’s story on Facebook, however, is still live.
“This video is getting absolutely ratioed on YouTube, to the point that they ended up disabling the comments section,” wrote user Ezio Per.
Request for comment has not yet been returned by Malonelord.
