Emma Malonelord, says she joined the Army after college because she \u201cneeded my own adventures, my own challenge, and after meeting with an Army recruiter, I found it, a way to prove my inner strength and maybe shatter some stereotypes along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A summary of the ad reads, \u201cRaised by two supportive mothers, Emma felt lucky to have such powerful role models in her life. Inspired by their courage and conviction, she was determined to face challenges of her own and shatter stereotypes along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Malonelord is currently active duty and serves as an\u00a0air defense enhanced early warning system operator, according to the description accompanying the ad.<\/p>\n<p>Other videos in the Army\u2019s cartoon ad series, aimed at high school and college-aged Americans, highlight the personal struggles of recruits.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, the CIA released <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/cia-releases-new-woke-recruitment-video-after-previous-ads-mocked\">the latest<\/a> in its series of new recruitment ads aimed at millennials, despite the scoffs and criticism with which the previous installments were met.<\/p>\n<p>The latest \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fvkiDqYBHUw&#038;list=PLb9QRVXYyLdqCUl95ecfapl9dyxiqVvqV&#038;index=2\">Humans of CIA<\/a>\u201d video ad features a man who says he is an agency librarian for the CIA and describes his struggles with being gay and the acceptance he encountered at the CIA.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrowing up gay in a small Southern town, I was lucky to have a wonderful and accepting family. I always struggled with the idea that I may not be able to discuss my personal life at work,\u201d the man in the CIA ad says. \u201cImagine my surprise when I was taking my oath at the CIA and I noticed a rainbow on then-Director Brennan\u2019s lanyard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the agency\u2019s previous ads prompted ridicule on social media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am a woman of color.
