The misleading nature of American military recruitment ads
"I watched it and in fact it's the same one that I originally posted. If anything I see it as a promotion for pride in a job that others wouldn't touch."
That's fair enough. In a world where rational, realistic thought overcomes the illusions of pride, I see it as desperate, shameless propoganda to lure the impressionable into an increasingly infamous conflict.
"I'm not, but by todays recruitment standards somebody that hasn't got the intellect to realize what may happen probably won't be accepted."
I'll never know for sure, but by today's circumstances, I'd imagine they ain't bothered either way.

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
