Right on man. The American ad campaign disgusts me also. I'll bet those kids are surprised as hell when they're getting shot at from all sides. No music playing, no slow motion matrix shots...

It's not just the US though, many countries army ad campaigns are just as ridiculous. That's the only way to draw vulnerable kids into the army, make it look like they're walking into their favourite video game. Next thing you know, they're a corpse. Not to say it's ONLY the kids that fall for these ads that end up joining, but I really didn't expect the American army to reach it's young targets any other way.
B.Basher Reviewed by B.Basher on . The misleading nature of American military recruitment ads There is a valid point when some folk point out that everybody killed in our latest conflicts joined the service voluntarily. BUT, since it's volunteer I also get pissed off that the military's recruitment ads don't give any indication of the real experience, the fact that you'll have to kill and possibly be killed; instead it's a lot of inspiring music with soldiers climbing walls, jumping out of airplanes, sailing mighty aircraft carriers, enthusiastic chorus's of young soldiers yelling Rating: 5
