    Russian ad is all about people finding what they are capable to achieve. Similar to what US army ad suggests but in maybe slightly different context. No propaganda at all, no mention of an enemy or anything like that. Just calling people to become super heroes and wotnot is absolutely correct. Don't know if wotnot can understand russian .

    The Russian ad looks like it would even get the US want to join. Just add english subs describing all the cool gun tech.

    As for the politically correct army, they will probably be on a protest march when Putin's human killing 'machines' come marching in unnoticed.

    This is the impression the two ads make on me.

    If I am to become interested in the army, an ad should be all about what it is like to be there and what I can do there and the Russian one nails that.

    I wonder what real American soldiers think of it. Jeeeez.
    The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

    All it says to me are that the Yanks are a mob of pansies. (substitute any gender specific derogatory terms you may!)
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    OK China, It looks like nowis a good time to take back Taiwan. Because Uncle Sam is just going to retaliate with a box of tissues.
