Pretty Good Video
I just found this entertaining...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2AWj...eature=related I had to use the link because the video wouldn't show up here for some reason.

That's a segment of the movie "Transformers." Entertaining movie. Not an actual commercial.

Oh I know, but that doesn't mean it can't be used to recruit. Some of the best truths are found in fiction.

I wouldn't use a "tactical loss" as a recruiting tool. Think about it:
1.) They lost the entire base with gross loss of life. 2.) There were 5 survivors...of how many at the base? 3.) They did not kill the attacker 4.) They could not identify the attacker, leaving themselves (and the rest of the world) open to further attack 5.) Only the SF guys were organized...everyone else ran around willy-nilly, adding to the loss of life Now, some things were done correctly: 1.) The SF guys were organized and fought back in a co-ordinated effort 2.) The SF guys got CAS called in 3.) The pilots placed ordnance on target 4.) The pilots caused the attacker to conduct a tactical withdrawal All-in-all, in my opinion, not a very good recruiting tool. Pretty decent sci-fi, but poor recruiting. The best hollyweird flik that actually boosted recruiting was Top Gun. In the 1980's that movie made the military "cool," and recruiting went through the roof....everybody wanted keys to an F-14!

You have a point, Ping, with the Transformers video. Top Gun on the other hand...who doesn't want a partner named Goose?

I found this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSRL8...eature=related May be a good way to recruit, I don't know. I like Johnny Cash covering a Tom Petty song more than I like 3 Doors Down and Kid Rock. But, that's just my tastes in music.

Three Doors Down? Wasn't that a Dolly Parton song? No, that was Two Doors Down - she can't walk quite as far with those little feet (things don't grow too well in the shade).
