Are you saying men are being tricked into enlisting because they think it gives them a shot at nailing an actress in a TV commercial??


When the movie Top Gun came out Navy enlistment went through the roof with goobs that thought they would get to fly jets.

Most people actually think The IDF is full of hot woman. Its not. They are models used to sale this image. Turns out its not. I checked and was very disappointed

The US Army has an official video game to help recruit kids: America's Army: Proving Grounds



I used to play the crap out of the original America's Army in HS back in the early 2000's. One of the best FPS games I've played and seems like it was ahead of it's time with some of the features.

This has been going on for a long time. Family Guy did a parody skit 20 or so years ago where the Army was recruiting Chris I think and promised him all these girls.

Da fuq is wrong with you? There are a lot of hotties that enlisted, you just don't know until they take off the birth control glasses and put on a dress.

Not a fan of covert propaganda being used on the U.S. population, even if it is for a "good cause." Because if they are using propaganda for this, just think what else they are trying to influence through similar means.

I have some bad news for you, baw.


Man, the boys in Langley better watch out for this guy, eh Hemp?

Addressing the Hypothetical Scenario
The second part of your question asks how many men each female servicewoman would need to “service” to cover the entire male population in the armed forces.

Let’s calculate this for both the Army specifically and the total armed forces, assuming the intent is to divide the number of men by the number of women.
For the Entire U.S. Armed Forces (2023 data):
• Total men: 1,084,881
• Total women: 225,119
• Calculation: 1,084,881 ÷ 225,119 ˜ 4.82 Each woman would theoretically need to “interact” with approximately 5 men to cover the entire male active-duty population.
For the U.S. Army (2020 data):
• Total men: 406,408
• Total women: 74,592
• Calculation: 406,408 ÷ 74,592 ˜ 5.45 Each woman would theoretically need to “interact” with approximately 5 or 6 men to cover the entire male Army population.
Clarifications and Context
• The original claim’s “20 or 30 guys” is a gross exaggeration and not grounded in any realistic scenario. The actual ratio, as calculated, is far lower (around 5-6 men per woman).

I think the Border Patrol's instagram account got a few recruitment off their hilarious videos this spring. I am here for it. The music placement in the videos its just so good.
