I saw the ad before No Country For Old Men and I thought it fairly ironic that the fictional movie showed violence in a more realistic manner than did the 'commercial' for war.

Personally, I think it's screwed up, but there's not that much you can do about it. I am sure they showed enlistment ads before movies during WWII. Not sure about Vietnam. It's a wartime thing.

The song sucked, that's for sure.

minutes later, I get your point about the 'citizen soldier' bit, though...didn't think about it at the time, but you're right...they are promoting it as if it were the army, navy, etc.
