I've seen many Military recruitment adverts, but this ARMY one is the best one I've ever seen in my life. It has a perfect and motivated soundtrack.

I wish the Navy had a cool advert, all of ours suck.

cool but they failed to add and the end " Theres dead and there Army dead"

this morning before i went to work i was watching fox new and the 4 kids killed to day were not even over 21... kids not soliders i am not putting the us or active duty down in any way, i belive in putting foot to ass for the RED.White.Blue for a cause that is just and need but i dont see why we should be there. not when we have over a million north korean 290 miles away from my house.. but if i was drafted i would go and kill as many as i could

it makes me very upset...

One of my fav's is on a poster in this gun magazine. "If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you are reading this in english, thank our military".

Lets all keep in mind that the military is a VERY touchy subject, among other things....

I myself laugh every time i see one of those stupid army commercials. I love the army, but when you get all "hooah" because of a tv ad, your NOWHERES near getting a clear picture. If your thinking of joining, i suggest you either spend a day in the life of a service member, or talk, talk, talk to many of them. Things they dont tell you often arise, and most of my patients main complaints are how the recruiters tricked them. It takes 2 to tango and if you dont do your research before hand then your setting yourself up for failure.....

it bothers me how the target of the military seems to be young kids. Offering college incentives and having huge recruitment done in low-income areas offering them a way out if they will go to war for a few years. There were more military recruiters at my high school than colleges by far, and I lived in a nice part of Nashville, which is known for having over 20 colleges and universities. I wish I could see what percentage of the military is under the age of 21, or at least what percentage signed up before their 21st birthday.

We won't let you buy a beer to celebrate your child's birth because you aren't 21.

Most states won't allow you to have a carry permit for a hand gun until you're 21.

You can't go on a cruise for your honeymoon because if you're under 25, you must be accompanied by someone older.

You can't rent a vehicle in our country until you're 21, and because we don't trust you, we're going to charge you extra until you turn 25. ($15 extra per day @ Hertz, $30 per day @ National)

If you're only 17 years old, it is illegal for you to bring life into this world, as you could be charged with statutory rape.

However, if you're 17 years old, we'll let you kill and die for a cause that you aren't even old enough to understand.

I am NOT bashing our military. I have the highest respect for those in any branch, I simply do not agree with the way things are done.

I just thought it was a cool advert. My bro is in the ARMy and he thinks it's bullshit, but he thinks the commercial is well done. l

I agree with majik, 100%.

You can't drink, smoke or buy porn. But you can kill people if you sign here.

just to clarify, my post was in response to the general topic being discussed. I'm at work, and haven't viewed the advertisement yet. Work doesn't like YouTube

this is a very touchy subject so let's respond to the advert which i think is good from a marketing standpoint!
