@matrix And the ones who don't fail for any of those reasons say "nigger"
@matrix @MeBigbrain @matrix I'm just now realizing why all the youngins have face tats I just thought it was a hip hop thing.

@matrix
Immagine doing an ad campaign targeting tattooed pink hairs, and then complain about getting tattooed pink hairs.

@mangeurdenuage @matrix
While true, that is a global issue.
I think this one might have something more to do with this picture.

@smugumin

I can think of any number of things that are causing people who traditionally would have flocked to the recruiters to not join. It's the same answer as why people aren't re-upping.

@matrix
@matrix depending on the drug, you can come back in 4 months and give a clean sample and continue processing. The only tattoos that are problems are those that are racist, gang related, vulgar, or obscene. You can even have neck tattoos in the Army. And hand tattoos. Obesity is an problem though and catches a lot of kids trying to join.
@matrix this and shit conditions across the armed forces doesn't help recruitment much either (i.e. US Navy scapegoating its own sailors for mishaps, the Navy refusing to report suicide rates, the Army giving advancement points to people who got cheated on by their spouse to try and retain them, etc.)

@ferrarilegends @matrix “Guys, come on, don’t you wanna do the right thing?!?!”

People who have mocked and derided those still doing the right thing

@matrix they're going to use greencard recruits or foreign mercs.

In Ukraine, a lot of the foreign volunteers come from countries like Colombia which have become CIA vassals.
@matrix They'll blame everything but their cringy recruitment campaigns. An eSports team, seriously? 😒
