The point of the comment is that the US Army is pretty much resorting to horniness for recruitment.

Sounds like a recipe for "comfort women" in the future. Honestly considering the US military's record of misbehavior in its foreign bases though maybe that line is already somewhat crossed.

It is quite fucked up that they could actually improve recruitment if they chose to embrace that stuff instead of keeping it an open secret.

Well that's because it IS comfort women shit.
