How can I put this, you do not target your recruiting advertising for minuteman silo staff at CND members.. You target the qualities that would be required to launch a strike knowing everything you ever knew was about to end.
Similarly the Army needs a certain type of mindset as mentioned, the ability to live in some pretty appalling conditions sometimes and getting down to basics...kill.
Now I am not saying these people the advert is angled at do not have those qualities, but I bet a lot do not. The advert shows the character on a parade with banners such as respect each other and love each other.... which is not exactly aimed at people expected to kill is it?
..
Not just kill, but prepared to be killed in doing so.
War is a nasty, evil business and the whole point of fighting is to win. Something that a lot of woke (and not so woke) people forget.
Ultimately (and maybe an extreme example), would it matter how inclusive you felt when you have been told to go over the wall and attack your enemy knowing that you might not survive the day?
