I Wish the Army Would Stop Trying to Recruit Through Video Games

Blast! They've caught on! Oh well, back to subliminal messaging:

Nioj eht ymrA!

Seriously, do they really plug the whole recruitment thingy? Never really noticed, I mean, America's Army is the furthest I'd go to saying Recruitment.

OWNED!!!!!! LOL 

Hey, they are fighting for your freedom... I say let them advertise, I'll be joining in a few more years.processedkill

Just because of your Avatar I have to say the classic line: "I wanted to join the army, I figure it is just like counter strike with better graphics, and no respawn."

lol... Do you watch those? Friggin' hilarious!

Nah, but seriously, the military offers you so much for so little, they'll teach you, train you, give you living quarters, feed you, and all you really have to do is what you're told. And don't even bother with the "But you can die." bull **** yeah you could die if you were infantry, which I wouldn't plan on doing anyways. Good deal in my honest opinion.

Ok, lets say that the US and Canadians give up... lets say they win, you honestly think that they'd stop right then? Yeah right, they'd be putting so many nukes our way we wouldn't be able to count 'em. So we basically have to fight.

BTW I'm Canadian and am sort of pissed for being dragged into the whole war scene because of Bush's stupid greedyness (? spelling ?).

yeah you get so much when joining the army....lack of body armor crap helth care, the army trys to advirties the spirt of brother hood and bond you get when your in war. humping the feelings and insperation that was created during WWII. sence that war there has been no conflict worth dying for nam was a joke and this so called war on terror is also a joke. we only keep provking people to come and kill us cuz we have turned out back on so meny all just for $$. and the poor men and women who give there lives so some budy can make a profit. Honor is dead it died along time ago. jackle2071

Please...learn to spell. I just about died trying to read that.

Ungrateful little punks like you should join the army, maybe then you'd know what the hell you were talking about.  I'm in the Army, just got back from my 3rd tour in Iraq.  The army is the best thing I've ever done.  It builds character (the good kind, not the kind you obviously display).  And I'll tell you something else....99% of those iraqi people are HAPPY that we are there.  They don't think its a joke.  They were living under a dictator who gased hundreds of thousands of his own people.  He'd cut off their fingers, their hands, or their whole freakin' arm as a form of punishment.  We freed prisoners who had their eyes gouged out.  He harbored terrorist organizations, some of which were responsible for 9/11.  And while it's true that no nuclear weapons were found, he had enough nerve and mustard gas for WWIII.  Those are considered weapons of mass destruction.  So just because YOU don't directly benefit from the war, doesn't mean it's a joke.  But you've never had an Iraqi woman throw her arms around you and cry and thank you for freeing them have you.

They aren't fighting for my freedom and the only nukes I'm afraid of are the ones that are in the hands of the US who repeatedly threaten to use them.

Oh and if you're afraid of nukes you should be looking at the arsenal China is stockpiling, but you're too busy stealing oil. 

The US army will fall like the romans soon enough. And good riddance too.Hoobinator

Are you still upset because we don't allow homosexuals?  I know some people, maybe I could get you a waiver.  Or better yet, don't ask, don't tell.

Headlines are always capitalized. But you aren't supposed to captalize articles or prepositions (ie, "the" or "of" or "or"...)

I respect you a lot for being in the army, and that guy's comment may have sounded extremely a-hole like, but i don't think he was criticizing the  soldiers, he was criticizing the politics that go into this war.  But I agree, there is still a lot of honor in the army.  What some people don't realize is that you don't need to fight ancient civilization style warfare to be honorable. 

I saw something on TV where an army soldier was controlling a robot to diffuse a bomb in a car. He was using an xbox 360 controller.MuffinPunk

yeah theres this one episode of future weapons where mack controls a robot with a 360 controller...but not to diffuse a car bomb it was to check out a house for booby traps and stuff

Dont be an idiot. Its bound to happen eventually. Whatever is at the top of the hill must come crashing down EVENTUALLY. and yes, i AM american.

Pretty much self-explanatory. Its quite like that old Robin Williams Movie ToysBelaisdead6

I agree. They're trying to get kids who think war is just a fun game to join. It makes me mad, because I know alot of kids who would join the army, because of this advertising. The fact is, they're desperate and short on people in Iraq.
