>The Army is really serious stuff, it's ok to hint at adventure, self-improvement, fraternity but at the core it must appeal to 'duty' and or kind of communitarian obligation/commitment or it's the wrong message.

- munk-a 6y agoIf that is a real Ad I love it. I also think more mundane army portrayals like this helps to defuse US separatist extremist groups while visor down or active combat portrayals fuel that fire.
- RandomBacon 6y agoOnce I read the "because we say so" part, I was convinced it wasn't legitimate. Also, the paragraph below that is quintessential mumbo-jumbo.
- fearingreprisal 6y agoWhy exactly would 'US separatist extremist groups' ( how many of these can you name? ) and secessionist groups be interested in joining the federally run US army? Wouldn't mundane army portrayals just appeal to their sense of dissatisfaction with a society that many already see as far too passive? Or, as you so smugly put it, 'fuel that fire'. You forgot to mention Cheeto Hitler in your post. There's still time to edit though, so it's okay.
- true_religion 6y agoMany separatists groups believe the federal government is too powerful and is aggressively conspiring to oppress them. A vicious looking well equipped military just feeds into these notions. On the other hand, portrayals of the army as merely builders and farmers in uniform would defuse their fears.
