    My high school locked all my seniors in for an hour with all different types of military recruiters

      I remember at the end of last school year I was straight up just sitting at a table, totally at peace

      then our RESIDENT MARINE RECRUITER who has been at this school as long as I have?? somehow?? randomly talks to the person watching over us, convinces them to let them talk to us about the marines for like. straight up 30 minutes. even cold-calls some of the students?? asking them like what they’re interested in and how that means they should join the war crime corps.

      I’m genuinely sick of this man, but I still see him from time to time :/

    If I had some time to kill, between classes for example, I’d go talk him up and pretend to be really interested in joining the army but also super oblivious to literally all the concepts. Make him waste his time instead of potentially using it on people that can be preyed on.

    I do this with the JWs and Mormons in my city. As well as the occasional Falun Gong guy (I’m Chinese and speak Mandarin so I’m prime target to get approached by them)

    TM

    As if they’re such a force for good that they outshine every other organisation. Like, sorry Red Cross, sorry Doctors Without Borders, you’re just not good enough to be global forces for good TM.

    Or is it the whole thing, including ‘America’s Navy’? As if some pirate of the high seas willing to plaster that slogan across their boat would be bothered about intellectual property. Hoping to lull their victims into some kind of false sense of security. ‘Oh don’t worry guys, it’s the US navy coming at us, and they’re a global force for good TM’. I don’t think I’ve seen a more cynical slogan for a military organisation.

    By using the trademark, they’re also making it obvious that the main audience is intended to be US civilians.

    It’s doubly revealing. Unfortunately for them, they’re kinda telling everyone that this isn’t a description that anyone would use to describe the navy; it’s just a brand slogan. Strange, strange, strange.

    Edit: thinking of it, they’d be better with a testimonial. “I saw the navy and I just felt safe. I slept like a baby. Nordstream? No, never heard of it. Like the Vikings?” — Bob, from the Baltic Sea.

        The US military constantly dumps tanks of jet fuel, toxic chemicals, and spent munitions into residential neighborhoods, and then arrests anyone using Army MPs that speaks out after 60% of the neighborhood develops severe cancer… including children.

      Have you known any of them personally? I knew maybe one online, and he was weird. But one person is a poor sample size to judge

        I never knew any of them personally aside from having them in my classes. Plus they were the country types.
