Forget the recruitment difficulties, logistical clusters, and geographical overstretch for a moment and quietly acknowledge one single, simple truth…. damn the British Army makes good commercials!
Oh and that whole ‘valley of death‘ thing? Forgedaboutit. They’ve moved at least half a league onward.
The Light Brigade was _Cavalry_ (but you knew that)
just having fun with it, buzzkill!
That was damn good, gave me shivers. The “Go Forward as One” is a much better slogan than an Army of One, which I despise.
They’ve got a whole series that all tie in with that last scene. Armor, airborne, etc. All very good and very well done.
Royal Marines also have some good ones, like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUcaM_0ztbM
Which I read somewhere got pulled because it made recruiting go down. Most people figured they couldn’t do it and followed the ad’s advice.
OMG – I got a panic attack just watching the underwater part of that Royal Marine vid! I can see how that would have scared off lots of potential recruits.
Still a cool video :)
