    Tbf, when was the last time you’ve seen a decent military-related ad? Not just enlisting, but even stuff like working for weapons factories and such. And not just in USA either, if you’ve seen recent Russian ads for enlisting

      “Poor as shit? Risk your life and we’ll give you a degree. Also honor and shit.”

      We had recruiters in our grade school lunch room saying ^ that. I regret not organizing to get them banned.

        So yeah. Military ads are cringe as hell
