The MC has the most genius adv. team ever.

I mean, can you get more motivating? Even me, the V22 naysayer, has to say that the slow motion rotors is aaaaaahhhhhhmazing. My favorite part is, of course, the hueys and the cobras being awesome, but even the first 10 seconds, with the screaming and chaos and then MARPAT leg, running towards the dark cloud of EVIL!

How is everyone not always trying to join the Marine Corps?! 

I've seen a lot of military surprise homecomings. It wouldn't work on me. I always have my back to the corner and my face to the door. Looking for terrorists, criminals, various other threats, and husbands.

  • You mean I wasn't supposed to be rolling my eyes at the "races toward the sounds of tyranny"?

    I know I'm not the target demographic, so the fact that it doesn't work on me doesn't mean a whole lot.

    Also, I had the same irritation I always do when there's some AF promo video at an event.  Ooooh, planes, bombs, explosions are awesome, oh, aid, little children, more bombs!  That juxtaposition doesn't sit well with me.

    Killjoy! And fwiw, my H is more proud of the time he spent doing humanitarian aid in Indonesia and The Phillipines after the tsunami, though his time in Iraq/Afghanistan comprise more of his career obviously. And I wholeheartedly believe everything stated in the ad is part of the mission of the Marine Corps, but then again, I'm also not the target audience because they already got me.
