Air Power!
By John
So Blackfive has a great post up on the worst military recruiting commercials of all time that's worth a look. I was most pleased to see that the Marine Corps lava monster commercial made Matt's list, an ad that no doubt elicited an uproarious whiskey tango foxtrot!!??? from Marines worldwide.
Not to toot my own service's horn here, but I challenge any of the branches to top the Air Force's moving Lullaby tv spot:
Still gives me goosebumps.
Although a more realistic version of today's Air Force can be seen here:

"Lullaby" is indeed brilliant -- and could easily be made to be multi-service. After the shot in the aircraft, cut to the same photo in an Army vehicle, autographed "To Dad"; an Osprey, "Brother"; the bridge of a ship, "Sis"; and the inside of a Coast Guard rescue chopper, "Mom".
I love how the zoomie is wearing safety glasses to unjam a copier...
I'm proud to say that no one, no one can make fun of the Air Force as effectively as actual Airmen.
Like the commercial sez, "no one comes close."
Yeah, I just transfered from the maintenance bay to a more desk oriented section in my shop.

Brilliant! It makes me want to join the AF. Will they take a 58 yr old woman who is expert at unjamming copiers?
