What a callous way to look at the world. Advertising works, thats why people do it. The people influenced by advertising aren't children for having been influenced. I am 100% certain you yourself have been influenced by advertising in just this last week. People just aren't "rational consumers" the way some folks want to believe. Yes, people are "tricked" by propaganda, and yes, morally we do owe something to those people we successfully "tricked". If we had to pay a market rate for an army, things would go very poorly for us.
