The NRA should bring back that old racist WW2 poster with the extra-yellow skin and thick glasses and the buck teeth and be like Yesterday Japan, tomorrow China!

We can also totally re-use the old How to tell them apart! pamphlets.
It would be really funny if we had like super racist meme propaganda of russians.

yes this exactly. if you put up your stress card, you're gonna get asked if you wanna transfer to the chair force or some other coward job.

frankly this is a better system than screaming in recruits' faces until they themselves request transfer.

this is military selection done by software. its gonna make sure that the right people are trigger pullers and that the right people are state side supply officers
Probably used to monitor drill sergeants too - I get that they need to make boot camp tough, cos obviously life as a soldier can be tough and you gotsta be prepared for that... but conversely, the DS's higher ups probably want to keep tabs on who is successfully toughening people up versus who is going too hard and destroying recruits instead of building them up.

So given the quality of recruits and the modern recruitment pool in general this is a great way for them to find out who's cut out for the job while making it seem like they care about their fragile feelings.

She should sue them and win for libel.

Not 150.000, not 145.000, but 144.000! Why? It's:
a) a coincidence.
b) some random number.
c) something that should alarm your world.

In order for it to be libel you must be able to prove it is false.

Libel cases are only ever won for things like "Alex Jones was tried and convicted for raping a little boy in 1993". Easy to prove it is false.

Libel case would have no chance for something like "Alex Jones loves to rape little boys". No way to prove it is false.

Additionally, courts will often also require an additional standard in that the statements must be made with malice.
