New Eye-Opening Army Video Fuels Speculation That The U.S. Is Going To War
A new recruitment video released by the U.S. Army has ignited a firestorm of speculation and controversy across social media platforms and beyond. The video, which showcases a predominantly white male squad, marks a significant departure from the Army’s recent efforts to highlight diversity and inclusiveness within its ranks.
The new advertisement comes on the heels of a previous campaign that featured an animated film telling the story of a girl raised by two mothers. That ad was noted for its progressive approach, celebrating the diverse backgrounds and family dynamics of its personnel.
“A little girl raised by two moms… I also marched for equality,” the earlier ad’s narrative began, signaling an Army open to drawing recruits from all walks of life.
However, the latest video seems to paint a different picture, focusing on traditional images of military might and camaraderie among a homogeneous group.
Uh oh

Tech mogul Elon Musk plainly said “Uh-oh” in reaction to a tweet noting the all-white demographic of the advertisement. Others weighed in with a stark warning to Gen Z, indicating that they would be the first in line for any potential draft, linking their future to political decisions and voting patterns.
REACTIONS:
NEW: The U.S. Army has released a recruiting ad featuring a mostly white team of men.
I guess diversity is not our strength when it’s time for war?
The ad was much different than a previous ad that included an animation film of a girl who was raised by two moms.
