The Army and Navy had early recruiting successes with new pre-basic training programs aimed at helping subpar applicants qualify for enlistment, but so far other service branches are reluctant to follow their lead.

"I would offer the answer is 'no,'" Brig. Gen. Christopher Amrhein, who oversees recruiting for the Air Force and Space Force, told reporters at a press conference on military recruiting Wednesday at the Pentagon. "There's not the overarching, compelling requirement that we've seen."

Maj. Gen. William Bowers, who heads Marine Corps Recruiting Command, didn't mince words: "We are not looking at starting a special program for future Marines."

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.
