The problem with the Army is it is always reinventing itself.
The USMC actually has history and self respect and honors its traditions.

They should hire that navy seal who beat those war crimes charges to make commercials.

I bet they’d be good.

The US Army had a good commercial, unfortunately the dude beat up on his S/O.


So that was that......

It’s funny because of it’s unintentional accuracy.

I would say that terrible recruiting ads reflects the current command climate.

At least it’s better than the “Emma has two mom” commercial

They aren't as bad as the new Army commercials, but the new Marine recruiting commercials are pretty weak too. "Let's launch this amphibious assault into a smoky cloud of nothing."

The lava monster commercial is iconic, and sold me on the Corps from the age of about 6. "If you prove yourself you can be one of us, get a cool ass sword and slay demonic beasts in close combat." Cool as fuck.

The Corps doesn't seem to need a MACOM to figure out how to motivate people to be all they can be
