    My money is on subconscious fear of German women. Maybe they grew up on Allo Allo!

        I’m a Pole so I probably didn’t consider German military could be good news or sexy, even subconsciously. But then you have those Hugo Boss uniforms. Hmmmm.

          100% agree with you that military isn’t good or sexy ever but comparing this photo to like a grizzly, manly man in the mud (which could be sexy as well, lol) I think this image wants to say “Look we’re not the reactionary, sexist boys club we once were (which is a complete lie, probably), come join us, we even got women now!” So basicallly propaganda.

            I wouldn’t make this judgment based on a single news piece with 2 pictures total but I’ll be on a lookout if this is a pattern.
