The Pentagon is reportedly looking to recruit Charlie Kirk’s young fans into the military.
The Defense Department is considering a new military recruitment campaign centered around the 31-year-old slain conservative activist, NBC News reported Thursday, citing two officials familiar with the planning.
The officials said the proposal involved framing the recruitment campaign as a national call to service. Pentagon leaders have discussed slogans such as “Charlie has awakened a generation of warriors,” they added.
The Defense Department is also looking into using Kirk’s conservative youth organization Turning Point USA as military recruitment centers, according to the outlet. This could mean the organization’s events would feature military recruiters or advertisements, one official said.
