Source: Screenshot via GoArmy The GoArmy YouTube channel has uploaded more than 800 videos since its launch in 2010, but its recently posted video series titled “The Calling” drew enough online ire that the Army removed viewers’ ability to post comments on all six recruitment videos in the playlist.
As Leah outlined last week, the new video series “takes wokeness to the next level, featuring lesbian moms, a same-sex wedding, equality marches, and more.” “Needless to say, the video was not confidence inspiring among conservative critics especially when compared with the type of recruitment videos our adversaries are airing,” Leah noted. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) reinforced the contrast in a tweet comparing “The Calling” series with a Russian army ad on Thursday. Holy crap.
Perhaps a woke, emasculated military is not the best idea…. https://t.co/8aVFMW98NM — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) May 20, 2021 A look around the GoArmy YouTube channel turns up several other recent video series, such as the “What’s Your Warrior,” “Q&Army,” and “Warrior Weeks,” all with comments turned on. “The Calling” recruitment videos are the only videos posted to the GoArmy channel this year that have comments turned off.
Run by the United States Army Recruiting Command (USAREC), the GoArmy YouTube channel promises to “feature videos that will help you understand how your skills can make an impact” and help viewers “learn how you can turn a global challenge into your daily mission.”
A spokesperson for the Army Enterprise Marketing Office told ArmyTimes that “the comments violated our social media policy and were not aligned with Army values. Out of respect for the safety and wellbeing of our soldiers and their families, we have disabled the comments.”
America’s servicemen and women are among the bravest, most selfless people in the world. The sacrifices made by them and their families to protect our freedom and way of life should be appreciated. But I want to know that our military forces can withstand more than what amounts to mean tweets.
“Provide the Strength” is USAREC’s motto, but apparently strength enough could not be provided to handle the criticism of online comment sections.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
