Army recruiting poster<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is literally priceless. If you\u2019re a British snowflake, your Queen wants YOU in the Army!! Now!!!<\/p>\n

And this campaign is working, too, per this article.\u00a0 https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2019\/03\/28\/what-the-us-army-can-learn-from-the-brits-snowflake-recruiting-campaign\/<\/a><\/p>\n

This was part of what has made it successful:\u00a0 Teamed with a private marketing firm, a plan coalesced around the idea of belonging.<\/p>\n

\u201cActually, soldiers who serve for that sense of belonging, being together, that common purpose is really, really important,\u201d Colthup said. \u2013 Article.\u00a0 And it seems to be working, turning the enlistees into productive people.<\/p>\n

Now the US Army is organizing its recruiting toward doing the same thing: bring American snowflakes together into a cohesive whole, take advantage of their need to be part of something larger than themselves, and point them toward productive lives.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t snicker too much. It may give the clueless, wandering snowflakes in this country an idea regarding the useful direction their lives should take.<\/p>\n

Discipline? Yes, in spades. But, what the heck \u2013 if some kid from Wanker HS in Wanker, CO, can be talked out of smoking dope and into doing something useful with his life, in addition to the lure of that old GI Bill thingie, don\u2019t think it\u2019s such a bad idea. After all, they aren\u2019t all<\/em> like our resident goof.<\/p>\n

Some of them really do have working brain cells. They just don\u2019t know what to do with them. Give them a little direction and it just might work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
