U.S. Marines Recruiting From Anime Convention

Ahead of the event, Anime NYC advertised the Marines making an appearance (Booth #373) as “a military partner,” linking to an enlistment form for applicants to connect with a Marines recruiter. (The recruitment application on the official Marines website included the UTM code, “FY23ANIMECON,” in order to track the social media campaign’s performance across platforms.)
According to the exhibitor list, the Army (Booth #367) touted a 360-degree photobooth, oft-used at high school dances and wedding venues; a personalized dogtag-making station; and military “swag” to take home. “Join like-minded Army personnel who share a passion for anime and discover what the Army can offer you. With over 170 career paths, robust education benefits, and exciting job opportunities, the Army is a wide-open frontier to helping you Be All You Can Be!” reads the Anime NYC description.
I would expect that of the Army and the FBI (who was recruiting there too). That the Marines were there is embarrassing for them.
How shameful. Even now they cannot understand why good men no longer want to fight and potentially perish for the country. It is no longer their country.

Chesty Puller, Lou Diamond, Dan Dailey, Mitchell Paige, Joe Foss, Archer Vandergrift, and other legendary Marines from the past must be spinning in their graves at such a travesty. Tell you what, Puller would have gone off on these clowns like you wouldn’t believe… but I’d better not get into that, since this is a website for general audiences….

Young white men when approached about joining the U.S. Military:
“We wish all of the LGBTQ, Peoples of Color and Women, good luck in the next Wars for Israel Games. May the odds be ever in your favor.”

We’re a long way from the 80s when my now wife walked up a USMC recruiting table at a college job fair. You got a free water bottle and T-shirt if you’d do a pull up and sit up test. She banged out 20+ real pull ups and close to 60 sit ups in the one minute test. Apparently recruiter nearly nutted himself and chased her for six months—thankfully no cell phones or email in those days. Granted she was a national team rower. Now the pitch is “do you like cosplay?” How pathetic.

Did they try the local bathhouse glory hole server?
Read about a colonel who was reprimanded for bringing up trans and other issues causing the lackluster recruiting number.
Saw another about do not attend “nationalist” speech or your military career will be harmed.
Both of those were in Heartland and Mountain states that are not fully occupied by CPUSA Long March fellow traveler comrades.
Meanwhile close to 500,000 signed up with the Russian Federation.
