New National Guard advert released - General

Suddenly, [quote]Failure is always an option. All this hyper patriotic shit is what's destroying America. Only idiots who want to get shot join the armed forces. Even predator operators get PTSD just from seeing others die. Recruiters lie to teens to get them to enlist. Also, it's obivous that most of these posters are the same person. Nice job there, with your epic failure and all.[/quote] Let's down-vote that video.

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;18372494]I think you may have missed the part where Birth of the Nation and Triumph of the Will glorified the KKK and the Nazi's respectively. At least, I hope you missed it.[/QUOTE] I was more referring to the scenes chosen & shown in Triumph of the Will, they were much more convincing and (somewhat) more believable than the National Guard advert. But yes, you are right. I did miss the point somewhat.

The national guard doesn't do epic socom style rubber boat deployment. They also don't go into the mountains. They have a special alpine units for that. That was a sad attempt at an army recruitment scheme.

I laughed at the end where it said "Find us on facebook."

I'm cool with everything but the fucking choir in the background. I think that's pushing it into "NATIONAL GARD TRIBUTE VIDEO" territory.

Well if you guys are so smart. How would you make an advert about the army? This is pretty much what i expected when i clicked the thread.

[QUOTE=booster;18375404]Well if you guys are so smart. How would you make an advert about the army? This is pretty much what i expected when i clicked the thread.[/QUOTE] I would make it legal for the government to draft again :smug:.

Obviously aimed at gun nuts and CoD nerds

I thought the Guard did more domestic stuff.

Looks like they raped a shitty hollywood thriller and tried to turn it into a recruiting ad.

That choir music in trailers needs to stop

Nobody takes the national guard seriously. You fill sandbags and rescue old people from floods. Oh, and get to wear mismatched BDUs because you're too cheap to buy a full outfit.

it's like a movie trailer for live-action rescue rangers

Death to fucking america. Aldo, I didn't see a single black person in that entire 2 and a half minutes.

Oh wow, they're deleting negative comments.

Unrelated but is it just me or does the ACU not blend in with anything and looks fucking retarded.

It's like a video game! ..In real life!

Wow, that music is like a total rip off of Carmina Burana.

None of these beat that one Marines advert of the marine fighting a dragon or all those Navy adverts where they're on Mars.

When is the movie coming out? :v:

Still not as bad as these US Air Force commercials. [hd]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiB3vrhPDNs[/hd] [hd]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfAHw1kTpvY[/hd]

The National Guard? :v:

[QUOTE=gufu;18372761] 3)Tanks, planes, guns show off. Most of the technology is 20 years old. [/QUOTE] You are sadly mistaken. The National Guard has the same things the Army has. Hell the Air National Guard has most of the F-22's we bought. This thread has a lack of Linelor/Respect for the National Guard. I would like to see you fat Facepunch nerds to get off your ass and do something remotely hard as they do, even if it is only one weekend every month.

It's not that bad, but they're trying really hard to be the Marines, especially at the end. The music is absolutely terrible, though. They would of been better off playing metal or something like they usually do.

None of these are as bad as Japan's Navy commercials: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjAXJaFydwM[/media]

Oh god, I was about to post that. There's got to be some Japanese WWII veterans rolling in their graves right now because of that.
