Military leaders consider recruiting campaign centered around Charlie Kirk

WASHINGTON — Pentagon leaders are considering a new recruiting campaign that would encourage young people to honor the legacy of assassinated conservative activist Charlie Kirk by joining the military, according to two officials familiar with the planning.

The idea would be to frame the recruiting campaign as a national call to service, the officials said. Possible slogans that Pentagon leaders have discussed include “Charlie has awakened a generation of warriors,” according to the officials.

Anthony Tata, who serves as undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, is leading the effort, the officials said.
As part of the potential new campaign, Pentagon leaders are considering using chapters of Kirk’s political organization, Turning Point USA, at schools across the U.S. as military recruitment centers, the officials said. That could include inviting recruiters to be present at events or advertising for the military at the chapters, one of them explained. President Donald Trump has credited Kirk and Turning Point USA with helping him win the 2024 election.

The officials did not know what the timing would be for rolling out the possible new recruitment campaign, and it’s not clear if it will ultimately happen. The idea is facing resistance from some Pentagon leaders who have privately warned those working on the effort that such a campaign could be perceived as the military trying to capitalize on Kirk’s death, the two officials said. Kirk did not serve in the armed forces.

1. Henchmen is more like it.

[Redleg]

2. They should be careful what they wish for.

Or "be careful for what they wish," which sounds very stilted. Anyway, if the military didn't already have a problem with white supremacy within its ranks, it surely will in the near future.

3. Oh great. Now I'll get a break from Noem's 24/7 commercials with military propaganda

[SamuelTheThird]

4. Gee, they aren't hiding their plans very well are they

6. Is this Whiskey Pete's idea? The mind reels.

[haele]

7. Only if the military becomes reduced to playing "Call of Duty"

Or running unmanned armaments.
From what I can see, the recruits that would be attracted by Kirk's "martyrdom" are typically motivated by their personal emotions, and tend to be snowflakes and quitters because they're still living in their comfortable ideological bubbles.

8. Enough of this already

He was a podcaster that most people didn't even know.

[Hekate]

11. His death is useful, in the right hands

[Kingofalldems]

9. I guarantee none will be from wealthy families.

[Iris]

25. And since most of the chapters with any members are private h.s., well, we can do the math

What a waste of time even thinking about this idea

[Hekate]

10. Well they seem to have found their white "Christian" martyr. I had to go look up Horst Wessel...

…when somebody referenced it, yet again. I always thought it was a song (as in “They’re singing the Horst Wessel” ) but it turns out to have been the name of a flaming young Nazi who got himself murdered about 1929 — he had written a patriotic song for and about Nazis, and he and it got popularized and valorized to hell and back, all over the Third Reich.

So, yeah. Have our wannabe White Xian Nationalists found their bleeding martyr? Is there a song coming out?

[Buns_of_Fire]

12. Funny, the Klan had the same idea. nt

[hunter]

13. Wait a minute. He's the one who got shot.

If they are looking for shooters...

[BootinUp]

14. Ridiculous. Nt

[eppur_se_muova]

15. They can get their own uniforms and gear off the Internet ...

[pecosbob]

16. A generation that can't finish the obstacle course or find the mess hall without first consulting their GPS or ChatGPT

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

17. Did Kirk ever serve?

You have a very diverse military and you want to go full white supremist.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

18. Nope

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

19. Kirk-o-mania for a $100, Alex.

[Solly Mack]

20. Damn

[MorbidButterflyTat]

21. How stupid

They already use video game footage in commercials to entice the clueless.

[a kennedy]

22. Oh, and my flag waving neighbor for Kirk??? Posted on his Facebook page some video of all the "new Christians

who are now going to church”.

[Jack Valentino]

23. Oh SPARE ME! What was Charlie's military record, again ???

Mostly consisted of supporting a man who called our war dead "suckers and losers" !

[Iris]

24. Wait until they find out most university chapters have about 5 members

And they would not be great recruitment material.

High school chapters seem larger but are mostly on private schools so I don't those parents are seeking a military experience for their kids

[Klarkashton]

26. charlie didn't serve in the military.

[Gore1FL]

27. If they want to try to exclude minorities from the military, let them.

It won't work out well.

[dweller]

28. ah jeez not Anthony tatahead again

That clown was here in NC screwing up our school systems …

Quick search and find Elizabeth Warren’s letter to him , first couple of paragraphs are revealing

He’s a total ass clown .

29. Except 70 to 90% of the college students rejected Kirk's message.

Sounds like the stanza from the Horst Wessel song again.

[Mike Niendorff]

30. Hahahahahaha ....

Unfortunately, they're "keyboard warriors".

Come fighting time, they all suddenly get bone spurs. Just like their Dear Leader.
