New Army Recruiting Ad


Recommended Posts

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.

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

Here is the all time best Army recruiting ad.  From the 70's when no one wanted to join the military.

I my day, he'd best hope he didn't get his butt on the ground on the wrong side of town! They just tell him, he was an Army on one. Then go bag him in a couple days.

In my opinion, it's about time the Army "went back to basics" instead of making ads confusing them with the Peace Corps.....

No it's not...it's EA/DICE Battlefield 6 trailer leak.
