It's just a wierd thing. Sometimes we have commercials for how cool the military is that aren't even about recruiting. Like weee, look at our neat killmachines! It's so loving awesome, don't you think it's awesome?!

The gently caress is that all about? (Propaganda, it's propaganda.)


Anyway, for nonAmericans, do you guys have to put up with that nonsense?

Up here in the canader we have commercials about our military that don't have any join today or contact info at the end. I guess they've figured that it works better if people think it's their own idea to join or some poo poo.

There is also that it allows people related to but not directly part of the military to see their handiwork. "Hey. I work for horrible MIC company [Whatever]. I'm a hero!"

Classy.

even weirder than military commercials are the commercials from military industrial complex megacorps

they don't have anything to sell consumers and yet occasionally there'll be a lockheed or bae commercial

In the Uk they do lots for the reserves / territorials. "You might be a kitchen porter at a pub by day but you could drive a tank at the weekend and do all these cool things!" No you couldn't you'll end up doing your day job but wearing a uniform through a weekend a month and two weeks per year

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.

Northrop makes some oddly hype commercials. Makes me want to play Ace Combat.
