Technique Used
Simplify Ideas
This is propaganda because
It is an attempt to persuade people into thinking that the military is being ruined by new, more progressive ideals in our society. Ben simplifies the conflict by stating that the military and fighting in wars has always been centered around masculinity, when there is so much more behind military and wars than just that. It is harmful because it actively discourages diversity and inclusivity in the military when that should not affect the performance of our military whatsoever.
