[missvalentine]

I just thought id make a topic about military recruitment ads.

I just saw one ad from the ukraine that made me laugh so hard, it's probably the best army ad ive ever seen.

US Marine Corps "No Compromises" Ad

[Mr. Spencer]

I hate the fact that we have to queue to die now.

Always wanted to join the british army as a kid, but was turned off it by relatives who had served and said they went through alot of racial discrimination all through training and later on abroad. *Most of my family are half Irish/half asian*.
Was recommended to join the Marines instead as according to my uncle who served with them theres a little more racial tolerance with them, but never got around to it unfortunately.

[Mr. Spencer]

Uncle Sam's Misguided Children?

[adamb1029]

Thanks to fiction such as Apocalypse Now, Miracle at St. Anna (which was supposed to be one of the "good wars"), Dr. Strangelove, Catch-22 and especially Full Metal Jacket, I have no desire to be associated with any form of military. In terms of my perspective of it, there's a spectrum that goes from seeing soldiers as the perfect representation of either discipline or conditioning. I'm not sure if I'm Gomer Pyle (and look what happened to him-- unless you agree with the theory that he "became" Animal Mother) but I'm definitely not Joker or Cowboy. I wouldn't feel at home, and I thank circumstance I have the choice.

Really I'm a stereotypical hippie in the right time. My father was a draft-dodger and I'm a military steer-clearer (which is a lot easier to do than convince conscription officers you don't know a hammer is what drives a nail in a board).

I always found it amusing that Navy ads from the early to mid 00s had Godsmack in the background. A band featuring a frontman who claims to be Wiccan...Whatever happened to "an it harm none, do what ye will?" It's easy enough to blame the record company for allowing the use of songs, but I never trusted Sully Erna anyway. Fuck him and fuck Dane Cook too.

Full metal Jacket wasn't a work of fiction as such it was based on the novel The Short-Timers by Gustav Hasford and his time in Vietnam.

These days military fodder are wimps...cry when they have a I-pod taken away from them when they are captured. Want compensation for being dumb enough to be captured anyway.

Can't wear proper boots have to wear trainers.

Get beaten up by a group of kids who sound like a rap band or something.

Never mind the good 'ol U.S of A are strengething their forces in Afghanistan coz they are fed up of us British, they are so not into us they lump us in with the Europeans as an ineffective fighting force. So we will leave, the Americans will shoot a few thousand Afghans and say job done and that will be it. Coz it is an un-winable situation.

Don't worry chaps, a Royal Navy training cruise left Devonport yesterday with the biggest number of ships for a decade 10 in total, though they will be staggered due to the different speeds of the ships...this is a worry me to me...10 ships, one of the largest that have sailed? That is 10 out of the 32 vessels we have.

Okay anyone want to invade this wet chavpit of ours the door is open, we haven't a Navy to do anything about it!

Makes you feel great to be British.

QUICK GET THE RUSSIANS AND GERMANS! lol

on a more serious note
Most Millitary enlisted men are fairly smart and some probably should be in a science lab developing things,not fighting.
On the other hand,US millitary officers between LT and Major(US army,airforce,navy(whatever there equevelents are to those ranks))
and Captain-Full bird Colonel for the Marine corps are quite the morons
and quite frankly,call a Soldier or a Marine a wimp to his or her face,you wont like the result.
and i though the british had the best navy in the world-oh wait that was the 20th century and earlier wasint it.

I wish I was smart enough to go to some country far away from home and die for a political cause. I would go into further detail, but I'll just let Denzel Washington speak on my behalf.
