I'm not naive enough to assume that militaries in non-conscription countries won't attract their fair share of down-and-out recruits. But this is just sad.

Well, the reason I joined the Navy was I was out of work for a small amount of time due to the kitchen I was working in...So my Mother said to me "maybe you should join the Navy" cause other people in my family had done it. So I thought "why not?"She must be good at her job too. Check out the fattie who appears at 47 secs.

Very Good Jeremy. You get a gold star for arithmetic.
The army ad campaign with the whistled 1812 overture excerpt ran for about 5-10 years. This ad was simply one of many. I always liked this one.
20-30 years later, if you whistled that tune, most people would immediately associate it with those ads. Can you remember even a single army ad from the last ten years? Neither can I.
