Army Runs Astrology-Based Recruiting Campaign,
Links Zodiac Sign to Job Selection
On Thursday, U.S. Army’s official Instagram account attempted to recruit young people by asking them to look at a series of jobs that might fit them purely based on astrology.
The Army’s official Instagram account wrote:
“Wondering what your Zodiac sign says about the kind of Soldier you could be in the Army? You’ll just have to click through our Instagram Story to find the answer because our lips are sealed over here,”
In the “story” section of the account, the Army listed possible advanced individual training assignments based on a person’s birth month and the alignment of the stars.
Nowhere in the message did the Army disclose which zodiac sign is more inclined to destroy the country’s enemies on the battlefield.
The Army has a relatively small following on Instagram, but its zodiac-inspired recruiting pitch made its way over to Twitter, where a great many people were not inclined to tolerate the direction the branch is headed.
As any rational thinking person can imagine, the reactions were interesting. I am delighted to provide you with three examples.
For those who follow Twitter, I feel sure there is more to be seen…as there should be! I am positive the Army PR person who authorized this is a recent “inclusive” service member with a degree is wokeology.
