I've been watching this documentary series on the Military Channel called "Alpha Company" about a group of Marines in Iraq. It's very well done.
What's annoying though, are all the ads aimed at recruiting new soldiers during the commercials. Most are aimed at parents, "You made them strong, we'll make them Army strong!"
I wonder what the ads would be like if they were really serious and accurate. Imagine an ad with a solemn looking colonel at a desk. Saying something like this, "If you let your son join the Army, we promise to return all the pieces of him that we can find."
Seriously, I hope there aren't people out there that buy this shit. I really, really hope not. I have a deep respect for anyone who wears the uniform. I think it's a viable career choice. But not while this crap is going on.
What a waste.
