My buddies that are in the armed forces all say they signed up again because of the guys they fought with side by side.  They'll all very patriotic, but when it comes down to it, they don't want to leave a guy that watched their back under fire out there without them.

Edit: I also have an acquaintance through work that got out of the service.  He attended over 50 funerals in one year and couldn't take it any more.  He said he was just tired of being shot at.

Oh yeah, forgot the Nazis provided stellar healthcare to the Jews didn't they.  Get a life.

I think you meant 'insight' as in knowledge of as opposed to 'incite' a riot.

While I agree with the humanitarian portion of the video, mainly because I know thats exactly what do from first hand experiance, I still find most of the video kind of repulsive.  It's the standard "glamorize war" type crap. 

Gunslinger is still my hero though.

Yeah, anything positive about the military has to be propaganda . . .   How dare soldiers be proud of their service.

The vids clearly weren't slapped together by a couple of soldiers their time off. The vids were obviously well made, which pretty well means some money was thrown at them which pretty much means someone thinks there must be something to gain from them and so finally we reach the obvious. These are recruitment vids, they just have the 'There's stong and there's army strong' but missed off the end.

Not that theres anything wrong with that.

You are correct about those videos being professionally done, the first one was the only one I watched and it was made for a disabled veterans charity website.  Didnt watch the rest of them just the first part of the first one, I cannot recall the website but there is a link for it on www.strykernews.com

Being a vet, I tend to donate to disabled vets.

It presents one side of a scenario, it refuses to examine the other side of military service i.e. violent combat, deaths, psychological stress etc. therefore as an account of military life it is unbalanced. Unbalanced presentation of the facts is propaganda.

A bit better, the music is still there to elicit an emotional response. Why bother with any music? Would it still not be moving to any American (or anyone for that matter) to see that video without the score behind it?

For a fully impartial view that clip should be followed by one showing all the Iraqis who have been killed since the beginning of the US invasion.

You are probably the most heartless person I have ever met, he posts a video of his friends, his brothers in arms, and you turn it fucking political. Burn in hell, just burn in fucking hell. You dont deserve a longer response.
