truth in advertising?

'Snowflakes' wanted: British army rolls out millennial recruitment campaign
Quote:
LONDON — "Snowflakes," "phone zombies," "binge gamers" and "me me me millennials" are the focus of the British army's latest recruitment campaign.

Posters and billboards reminiscent of the famous World War I "Your Country Needs You" ads have been given a 21st-century twist, sending the message: "The army spots potential. Even if others don't."

This is not a parody; these recruitment posters are very real. The stereotypical traits of British Millennials are accepted as the standard and re-branded as strengths. This is where we are headed.

... AND everyone gets a medal!!!

We're really in Idiocracy.

Then I wonder if these snowflakes millennials will accept to be a cannon fodder? Just imagine "Operation behind the snowflakes millennials" in a pattern more or less similar to "Operation behind the darkies" as shown in South Park?

They must be having recruiting problems. Maybe they can turn these children into adults.

I hope so but I doubt these children will turn into adults like how Amuro get slapped by Bright Noa in Mobile Suit Gundam in a technic called the "brightslap".
