Those F*cking Army Commercials

[Dangerman]

Ever seen those recent propaganda crap from the Army with a school teacher gone from work to "Help train Iraqi policemen"? To me it's like the Gestapo helping local policemen!

We invaded a hapless, defenseless country and we are helping policemen suppressed those who want every American to leave or die?

This is ridiculous!

1. you were thinking they would show the rehab wards at walter reed?

be thankful at least they aren't using press gangs.......but when you think of it, recruiters in urban slum areas are about as effective.

3. Those commercials remind me of Starship Troopers.

That movie has several short propaganda films in it, and their similarity to the ads the US military uses is uncanny, and scary as hell.

10. ..."people" Bitched about Starship Troopers

The director (PV) said he was making a point about a military/political state. Being Dutch - he knew a bit about Nazi's and pseudo Nazi's.

Glad to see a fence sitter might have seen the point in the movie.

"Service=Citizenship" means building the tools of dictatorship.

4. The Army has served it civilian leadership well ...

To me it's like the Gestapo helping local policemen!

...whichever party holds her leadership. As an organization it holds some of the highest standards of any in the world - the Nazi comparison is a bit over the top. Remember Kerry will need her as well.

5. for what? What other nation will invade the US of America so that we

need to spend billions ujpon billions of dollars on installing our military on 130 or more bases throughout the world.

The military will be used by anyone to invade other countries to expand our empire and that should be obvious to anyone who is payhing attention.

The military is NOT being used to "defend our freedoms" shit.

The military is a very prominent picture of what this country has become, and what it can become in thehands of a fascist.

Forget the 'defend our freedoms crap. It is crap and every parent needs to educate their children now to NOT buy it, except to truly defend our nation.

IN order to save their precious lives.

This Iraq war is a prime example. Jesus--thousands of families will never be the same--EVER--for the rest of their lives, because of an ignoramus and an evil man, surrounded by other evil men and one woman, who thought he could rule the middle east and protect Israel at the same time because he was entitled, rich and knew how to make his buddies rich at the same time.

Protect your precious children and teach them the meaning of killing for empire. Do not let them become entranced by visions of their "heroism"--those visions arrive home in flag draped coffins.

6. In case a Milosovic

or a Saddam decide to invade a neighbor; or a Hutu/Tutsi conflict arises. The US Military is the only organization that can project strength massively and professionally enough to make a difference. Many other countries have to call us for Airlift in order to participate.

Kerry might like to have the option - the Big Dog did.

9. You're not seriously promoting Micah Wright's stuff, are you?

I mean, the man is a liar and a war profiteer (he lied about being an Army Ranger so that he could have some street cred and sell more books). Liberals have plenty of talented people who promote their ideals. Why support this embarrassment?

8. Hey, they're still calling my son,

every other week, he gets the call. Says he's too busy working now... this has been going on for 3 years.
