Military Advertisements
This one is hilarious:
Ukraine
This one is damn good:
Czech Army
I'm confused about this one; Scotland has it's own Army?
Scottish Infantry
Anyone else know any interesting ones?

Re: Military Advertisements
It's probably referring to Scottish Territorial Army units in the UK.

The Canadian Forces, ones are really good. This video has both current ads in one.

Scottish Infantry refers to the infantry units from Scotland.

Singapore's ads are pretty good, though it's mainly for show..

I thought there were a couple more ads at that time... I remember they all stirred up controversy with the people who think our forces should be wet nurses and targets.Cpl Kendall wrote:The Canadian Forces, ones are really good. This video has both current ads in one.
May you live in interesting times.

Ok .... I mean, I'm sure that's true ... but ....
There's some Russian Army (professional, that is, not conscript- obviously) ones on youtube as well. They're pretty standard though (ie do cool stuff, fire guns, get a hot girlfriend, wear a cool uniform ...)

Fire AN-94s, RPGs, ride in helicopters!
Jump out of planes! With a parachute!
Have a hot girlfriend! It's the uniform!
Say ... goodbye to your mum?
All a series, not necessarily in order, all the same (implausibly fresh-faced) actor.

The Scottish Infantry one is exactly the same as the Mechanised Infantry ad we had.
Check out TREKWARS (not involving furries!)

These are the only two I'm aware of and have seen. We usually only have a limited number of ads at once. Heck we only had the same one ad for years.Lisa wrote:

I believe the recruiting drive right now is going for straight up honesty. Although you should always be on your guard when you talk to a recruiter, things have changed now that they've made it it's own trade. It's gone the way of, "join up and you'll do dangerous and exciting things but you'll have some interesting stories to tell your grandchildren". Of course this doesn't appeal to a great many people and recruiting has suffered because of it. But lets be honest, the Army doesn't need jackasses that joined up for the education benefits but rather people that are willing to fight. We've had less of a problem with that than the US but I've run into a few while I was in that joined up just for the free trades training and didn't want to do anything.Feil wrote:I've always been fond of that first Canadian Forces ad. It manages an incredible level of honesty. A nice change from "Join the Army, where everybody likes you and you get hot chicks, cool uniforms, and giant war machines to play with!"
