Recently, the United States launched a new version of the recruitment advertisement, and the past American recruitment advertisement full of iron blood style is completely different, this round of recruitment ads using Disney cartoon style, and its content is completely consistent with the current US government's "political correctness", 5 anime cartoon recruitment ads are not gay families, or shamelessly say that the US military rescues people around the world, or how to be a good soldier by nature and so on.
Including American netizens after seeing this session of the US military recruitment advertisement, they all shouted "we are finished", and they did not want to join the army at all!
According to reports, the series of recruitment advertisements is called "The Call" ("TheCalling"), which is divided into 5 animated short films, which tell the growth stories of five US soldiers. The protagonist is in line with the political correctness of American society for race, and basically covers all people of color, namely the white woman Emma, the black man Richie, the black woman Jenny, the brown-skinned woman Jennifer, and the yellow man David.
Emma, the only white woman, was also given "political correctness" from a gay family, and grew up participating in street parades with her two mothers to fight for minority rights.
Jenny, a black woman, is positioned to be from a military family, but her father knows the cruelty of war and prevents her daughter from joining the army. Later, Jenny became a singer and began a global tour, saw the US military helping the vulnerable around the world, and saw the war in these countries, and finally decided not to be a singer and go to the army!
I don't know if the Americans really believe such a story, these so-called countries with US troops are actually bombed into ruins by US bombs, and the root cause of the war also comes from the US military.
There is also a story of David, a yellow man, whose positioning in the film is stupid, poor grades, and poor school grades, but he wanted to be a pilot, and later was influenced by his brother's "chicken soup for the soul", "If you want to become an army pilot, it is not talent, but time and effort", and he successfully became a pilot.
According to foreign social media pages, the recruitment propaganda film has been played miserably compared to the US military propaganda and recruitment advertisements in the past few years, and only one of the five short films, The white Emma, has been played more than a million times.
And many people still remember that in 2012, the American people once produced a recruitment advertisement, in which the theme song "Song of the Warrior" instantly became popular all over the world, whether it is the melody or the picture and lyrics, all show the steel power of the army!
Let's take a look at the lyrics in "Song of the Warriors":
I've got the reach and the teeth of a killin' machine
with a need to bleed you when the light goes green, (green flashes make your blood splash)
I'm last to leave, but the first to go
aim with the hand, shoot with the mind, kill with a heart like arctic ice
(I am a soldier and I'm marching on, (
(I am a warrior and this is my song.) (I'm a warrior, this is my song)
in the maw with the jaws and the razor teeth,（咽喉横亘，利刃如鲨）
where the brimstone burns and the angel weeps.
My eyes are steel and my gaze is long,
I am a warrior and this is my song.
The song ended up airing a speech by the famous Iron-Blooded General Patton during World War II:
General Patton: We're not just going to shoot the bastards
(We're going to cut out their living guts)
(and use them to grease the treads of our tanks)
(We're going to murder those lousy Hun bastards by the bushel)
In fact, the US military has always attached great importance to its own external propaganda, in addition to recruitment advertisements, there are many Hollywood movies containing conscription content, which are very good classics.
For example, we are familiar with the US Navy classic conscription movie "Top Gun", the film after the release of the film caused young people across the United States to want to participate in the Naval Aviation, and this film has also been strongly supported by the US Navy, in order to shoot the film not only flew F-14 fighters, but also used several nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, the flight action is not the CG animation used in the film shooting now, but the real picture of Zheng'erBa piloting the fighter jet in the air through the ace pilot to fight, Of course, the most attractive thing for young people is the romantic love story of the protagonist Atang Ge! With the melody of the theme song, there is a feeling of soaring with your lover!
Compared with these classic conscription advertisements or songs, this batch of conscription advertisements launched by the US military can be described as a failure, in addition to adhering to the current "political correctness" in the United States, it is useless, and it is ridiculed by young Americans as the "Pony Baoli" version of the conscription advertisement, and even some young Americans have watched the recent recruitment advertisement launched by China and Russia, and bluntly said that they do not want to go to the US military to be a soldier again!
