Bloomberg is out with a Monday report chronicling the sad state of affairs the US military has found itself in – notably trying to lure eligible recruits from Generation Z with a cartoon series dubbed “The Calling,” which will run on YouTube during May and June.
As Bloomberg notes, “The Army—the U.S. military’s largest service—faces a complex set of problems: the eligible recruiting pool into all military services is small; and the newest generation of prospects, Gen Z, has had almost no contact or knowledge of the military, which has largely fought wars abroad since 2001. The Gen Z cohort grew up with technology, the internet, and social media.”
The videos feature Emma, the self-proclaimed spoiled kid; David, the Hawaiian kid who at first didn’t let himself dream about becoming a pilot; Rickie, who grew up in a religious Haitian family in Florida; Janeen, a singer performing on cruise ships who joined the Reserves with the help of her Vietnam-veteran father; and Jennifer, born to first-generation Dominican immigrants, who worked long hours to make ends meet. -Bloomberg
They would be a great source for the military. They already have their own guns.
Did they mention not only fat, but do they have the smarts?
Fins and a k-bar is all I need
Many are nearby to OC. We have jobs lazy asses, come get some….i dare you.
Oh did i mention the incentive? We will feed you too!!
Most of them suffer from a “mental illness” anyway. They have never been told no, never had to be accountable for their actions and have been given everything, oh yeah and brainwashed by the public school system. Sadly we don’t need that type in the military. They would melt down quick once they were forced to do something that is required. Years ago a mental illness was not something you bragged about, Now days they brag how many they have and how they can collect money for having this “illness” that is mostly due to the way they were raised and educated.
Mental Illness, wrong category. Thats a knock on those with true mental illness challenges.
I don’t know the proper scientific term (i know there is one) but it falls in line with growing up very spoiled with ZERO knowledge of life.
Maybe Trophy for Everything Syndrome? TES for short. There is no cure except for reality and probably marrying someone wealthy.
Geez
