Have you seen the new ad campaign for the AIr Force? The one that shows

people going about their daily business in a foreign country while an Air Force jet high overhead prepares to drop down and lay down the law as the US government sees fit. Am I the only one creeped out by this?

1. And their new slogan, "Above All!"

German translation: "uber alles"

3. OMG! That's creepy. n/t

2. I haven't seen it, but I don't quite get that picture...

Could you expand on it please?

4. No, but I saw the one of a woman in the AF

talking about keeping her children safe at night. She says something about not
being a policewoman or firefighter but she's on the job every night, just like them.

5. The ad campaign definitely is based on the concept of unending

vigilance and warfare against unseen enemies.

Here are some samples:

9. I'll pass on the propaganda, if you don't mind.

But thanks for posting the links.

I'm not surprised by any of the propaganda they put out, by any of the branches.

7. Some might be enticed to serve if they can kill innocents below from the safety of the clouds

There are people like that, they are gung-ho to go to war but they are too cowardly to look their enemy in the eyes. For them the idea that they might be able to bomb the unsuspecting from the hidden heights is a dream come true.

8. "We are warriors...

who dominate air, space and cyberspace."

Creeped out, indeed.
