Germany votes for historic boost to defence and infrastructure spending
The move alters the German constitution, allowing the country to increase its military spending.
You're viewing a single thread.
I wonder why the BBC author seems to have explicitly chosen only images with what appears to be female Bundeswehr soldiers? Kinda odd choice 🤔
My money is on subconscious fear of German women. Maybe they grew up on Allo Allo!
Interesting, for me it seems to be supposed to convey "military good and sexy now" vibes.
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.
They can be sexy and fierce at the same time.
I only see 2 pics in the Article. Would you also wonder why only Men were showed if there were only 2 pics of Men?
If it was an article about an organisation that is 95% or so female then yes 🤷
Yea you are correct that it was probally done on purpose but Its also probally the least important part to point out from the article haha thats why I kinda wonderd about your Comment :)
