Worst. Nat'l Guard commercial. Ever
Edited on Sun Sep-14-08 09:40 PM by rainbow4321
Went to the movies tonight and one of those Nat'l Guard music video commercials was shown.
It kept flashing back and forth between soldiers in battle and a **Nascar race**.
Includes soldiers in a tank somewhere in the Middle East having a boy's soccer ball rolling in front of their tank. Soldiers look at each other, one gets out, huge gun in hand. Little boy shown looking like he is about to die as the soldier looks at him. The soldier pauses, scans the area (raising his gun), then smiles at the boy and kicks the ball over to him. Boy smiles, soldier smiles. Awwww, life is good..see, they LOVE us.
Back to the Nascar race, group of cars reaching the finish line, one of them crashes into the wall, bursting into flames...then they show the winning driver making a victory fist as he realizes that the guy that almost beat him has crashed and burned! WTF?

Meanwhile during all of the scenes, the song "American Warrior" blares in the background.
I swear these Nat'l Guard music video commercials get worse every time I see them.


Found the video!!

1. I got a kick out of the black guy pictured in between Kid Rock and Dale Jr.
Reminded me of the Sesame St. song "Which of these things is not like the other..."

Then I was reminded of the fact that the recruiters target the poor black teenagers who have no hope... :(
