    First, why have a 'recruitment event' if they're ahead of target? Smart businesspeople don't look at revenues beyond expectations and decide to be frivolous with advertising budgets, they know that momentum is already on their side.

    Second, while you're committed to your sense of causality, I disagree with your conclusion. I think the army reaching recruitment goals is probably far easier when your leader is a bombastic jackass who makes up and embellishes threats, so that he can propose himself as the only way forward. I know you think the increase is due to Trump something something we're safer now yet we need a military more now something something. I think it's because the guy is a fear-mongering. I have no evidence for my theory - do you have any for yours?

    That's what I was going to say. Military enrollment increases when jobs dry up.

    None of this is coincidental. 

    Trump kills economy and jobs. 
    Enrolment increases. 
    War begins.

    Christ he's giving another presser that is just off the chart stupid...talking about a stupid flag pole

    He just did one of his made up conversations where he says someone called him and said "Sir...we have all this money coming in and we don't know where it's coming from"...."I told him to check the tariffs....a day later he calls me back blah blah blah"

    What a fucking idiot

    Now he just said that Biden WASN'T for open borders, men playing women's sports, etc., it was the people who were handling him and using the autopen to sign everything.

    But that wet fart of a parade actually managed to make the military look weak and sad. If that was the best they could do with a $45M recruitment commercial, the US military is in big trouble.

    I suspect you are referring to someone other than me, but I will say, from my perspective, yes, because I don't peek (very rarely, anyway, and less and less as things progress here). The problem is, if someone clicks on a person I have on ignore, their post AND the ignored person's post becomes visible.  When that happens, I have to train my eye to look past that ignored person's post.  I'm getting good at doing that, but the thing is, I should not have to.  It is possible to have an ignore feature that removes the ignored person from your perspective 100%.  I wish like hell Pearl Jam Community would install that feature.
