11bee Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) I kinda like it. An army recruiting video showing soldiers (Rangers) in combat? What a novel concept. Beats those horrible "Army of One" ads. Of course given the poor recruiting numbers, they may be desperate to get kids to sign up these days, given that we've been at war since before some of these recruits were even born. "Join the Army - we promise you'll be deployed to a combat zone!". We'll see if this works. At least the Army can't be accused of misleading advertisements.

southwestforests Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 My brother retired as a W4 a couple years ago. His take on the Army of One; (desperate voice on the radio) "Fire support! We need fire support! Now!" (my brother) "Why are you wasting time talking to me, you are an army of one, support yourself." ;D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

From the 70's when no one wanted to join the military. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They just tell him, he was an Army on one. Then go bag him in a couple days. Glt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In my opinion, it's about time the Army "went back to basics" instead of making ads confusing them with the Peace Corps..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
