US Army recruitment
09.13.05 (5:44 am) [edit]
Anyone who's been watching the news coming out of America in recent months will be aware that the U.S. Army is struggling to find enough fresh blood to fill its recruitment targets. It's tough to meet your quotas with all the negative coverage coming out of Iraq and the pictures available every night on the news channels.
All of that may be why, according to the Wall Street Journal, army recruiters have found their way to the Astrodome in Houston, where the evacuees from the Superdome in New Orleans are currently being housed. It might also explain the thinking behind this recruitment video over at Onegoodmove.org. Unfortunately for the U.S. Army, that doesn't change the fact that the video is completely beyond the pale, tactless, tasteless and frankly pretty shocking.
Or, as my good friend SecretSamurai put it in the heads-up email he sent me: "Oh my GOD!! How crass can you get?"
Quite.
