David Goggins Wants to Be a PJ (Again)

[Blizzard]

Only additon I would make... it is a truism that exclusivity drives demand.

If he fails, and let's say he does talk shit... the AF gets to go, "See? Harder than SEALs, he was vetted and cant make it through. Want to do something even David Goggins can't? Hit up a recruiter and try."

Goggins himself has the greatest real amount of risk on this. The AF does sorta (see earlier comment on "bad for the community"), but that's the main reason there is a gag order in place for socials and on the folks down in SA.

If they remain completely neutral and just let idiots fight in the comments and on chat boards, they can frame it however they want. If you don't take a side early you have more options late.

Sincerely, a guy arguing in the comments and on chat boards.

I agree, seems to be (mostly) be a win-win for AF.

He makes it? So, what. Just a big PR recruiting road show. Some may not like the attention, but any publicity is good publicity or something...

He fails? So, what. He confirms that becoming a PJ is hard... as well as reconfirming his previous failure. He simply joins the majority -- the other ~90% to attempted the pipeline. That's a good story for the AF...think you're harder than a woodpeckers beak?...you're tougher than Goggins? Let's see what you got.

All the risk is with Goggins. Injury, embarrassment, whatever.

It's real dollars. If he fails it makes every video of him talking about being hard and doing the hard thing fodder for memes. And they're coming.
