I have to think this comic is also a bit of a jab at what the US Military is doing. There is a meme going around how wimpy all these new mandates are in the military comparing them with the tough Russian Army training. There is an ad campaign going around for inclusion and a lot of soft sounding terms. I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying this comic seems to be a jab at that somewhat too.
I thought the same thing too.
These are the ads in question. The ad put out by the Biden Administration for the US Army has received over 250k negative votes and less than 4k positive votes. People are furious at the woke-left wing agenda the Biden Administration is pushing.
It isn't too hard, based off these two ads, which Army you would take more seriously.
Granted, this is just one ad campaign by the US Military. There are your usually Army Strong type ads that make up the bulk of their campaign. This "woke" ad campaign is purely a project by the Biden Administration and Democrat Party in the US. There is heavy pushback from FOX News and the conservative right of the US over this.
