‘Awakened a generation of warriors’: Trump’s pentagon wants Charlie Kirk to be the face of military recruiting

Pentagon leaders are reportedly considering a new military recruiting campaign that would frame service as a way to honor the legacy of the recently assassinated conservative activist, Charlie Kirk. This news comes straight from two officials who are familiar with the planning, per NBC. The officials said that a possible slogan for the campaign could be, “Charlie has awakened a generation of warriors.”

As part of this potential new campaign, there’s a discussion about using Turning Point USA chapters in high schools and colleges across the country as military recruitment centers. This could mean having recruiters at their events or putting up military advertisements at the chapters. This isn’t too surprising, considering President Donald Trump has credited Kirk and Turning Point USA with helping him win the 2024 election.
