The fact the Coast Guard spent four million dollars per recruit on a NASCAR campaign is unreal. Yet after they’ve served they’ll be lucky to get a free massage.
The failed deal comes after the Army National Guard blew $88 million on a deal with NASCAR, that also yielded 20 recruits, according to USA Today.
I can’t help but feel 88 million could possibly be used for other personnel retention efforts, which might help the fact that every veteran, positive or negative about the US, will tell you the same goddamn thing - don’t join, because the military doesn’t give a fuck about your wellbeing.
It was $88M for 0 recruits, per that USA Today article:
The Guard received 24,800 recruiting prospects from the program in 2012, documents show. In those cases, potential recruits indicated the NASCAR affiliation prompted them to seek more information about joining. Of that group, only 20 met the Guard's qualifications for entry into the service, and not one of them joined.
The $88M was National Guard spending on nascar from 2011-13. The 20 recruits who made the right choice were just in 2012, but the military.com article that daily beast is reporting on says 'potentially no recruits' when describing the whole nascar deal.
The craziest part to me is the 25k prospects yielding 20 qualified candidates. 99.92% were unfit for service.
Why would anyone with enough common sense to not drown sitting on a toilet want to be used, thrown away, and forgotten by the USMIC, If they survive at all.
And let’s not forget about a huge rape problem that we have in our military here in America. Yeah that’s just what I would want my daughter to join and the kind of people I want my son to be friends with.
