U.S. and Russian recruiting ads compared to Texas Congressman Cruz criticizing his own family for “awakening to castration”

The U.S. Army released a series of animated recruiting ads in early May, but the internet response was extremely bad, with one of the images receiving 60,000 negative likes. Texas U.S. Senator Ted Cruz also tweeted a comparison of the U.S. and Russian recruitment ads, leaving a message criticizing his family for promoting a “woke, emasculated military”.

According to a U.S. Army press release, the series of animated commercials, called “The Calling,” features the “deep emotions and diverse origin stories” of five officers and soldiers, as well as the journeys of those who volunteer for the military. But after the launch, the YouTube response was “explosive,” with only one video with nearly 1,000 likes and four with more than 10,000 likes, with Corporal Emma Malonelord’s “Emma” promo drawing the most The “Emma” campaign by Corporal Emma Malonelord drew the most hate.

With college graduation around the corner, Corporal Malone Rhodes recognized the need for his own adventure, his own challenge, and decided to join the Army after talking to Army recruiters.

The number of “Emma” likes has reached 60,000 by the 22nd, and because of the unpleasant comments, the Army’s YouTube management simply deactivated the “Calling” series of video messages, but could not stop the right-wing media and netizens from criticizing it.

Cruz’s tweet immediately drew a strong backlash from Democrats and activist groups, but he had no intention of backing down and tweeted again, provocatively, “I’m enjoying the lefty blue hooks losing their minds over this tweet and dishonestly claiming I’m attacking the military. Oh no, we have the most powerful military on earth, but Democrat politicians and the awakening media are trying to turn them into pansies. The new Democrat film is awful.”
