Good points. While there are probably a few out there and in here who think that this will or was even intended to boost recruiting, the reality is that this is simply a humiliation ritual. The Left doesn’t want to boost Navy recruiting, not do they want to boost Bud Light sales, nor did they want to create a good television show based on the backstory of Lord of the Rings. They want to ruin things and humiliate their opponents in the process.
