Why are the ARMY commercials so rediculous??

I think it's a ploy to get all the 18-20 year olds that don't know what to do, or how to do it. So they make it seem like it's so easy, and it saves your parents from having to pay for your college etc. What a load of crap! They should show one of the military hospitals over there, with guys who have one leg, and half their head is blown off, and they're called "lucky", cause the guy beside him didn't make it!

The commercials make it seem like you have so much to gain if you join the army etc. Yeah, if you make it home to enjoy that great college education, if not, your mom gets a flag, and a pine box that she sincerely hopes has your remains in it.

Hey, let's make it honest, show a count of how many troops we've lost, and then ask them," do you wanna be next, if so please sign here!"

I can not believe we voted him in another 4 flippin' years! I'd like to think he couldn't do any worse than what he has, guess we'll see what's left of our country when he's done.

thats what the song BYOB by System of a Down is about. listen.

Everybody's goin to the party have a real good time

its about exactly what your talkin about and how ridiculous the army commercials are.

If they advertised for soldiers by showing you dead, bloody, dismembered bodies, and said "come do this work" - no one would sign up now, would they? So the emphasize manliness, toys , and duty instead. After the young men sign up, they realize how clueless they were when they see blood and dismembered limbs. And this is something that NO ONE at that age should EVER have to see for any reason.

no, those commercial are suposed to appeal to the parents so they can feel better about there kids join the mililtay.
