I find myself having to turn off my phone or the TV when those ads come on. As an Army vet who served in Iraq, I actually prefer that series of “woke” ads all the conservative commentators like to gripe about. How our military has gone liberal and gay and all that. It’s easier to watch. Truth be told, the first time one of the military’s video game ads came on I had no idea what I was watching. I still enjoy some shooter games, and I honestly thought it was an ad for a new release. I let it play through, and finding out it was an advertisement for the U.S. Military both made a lot of sense, and made me stupidly angry. I lost people to a conflict, both directly and as a result of mental health issues returning stateside, and that same organization was pushing combat as a video game, all the while leaving vets with PTSD and TBIs out to dry after discharging them.

Same here. We regularly had recruiters in our high school. I don't know if the guys realize that high schools and colleges that receive federal funding are required to give the contact info of their students to military recruiters in the area. There was a big stink over a few years ago when a school failed to opt out a few students' who parents requested their children not be added to the recruitment information. The military can be genuinely beneficial for people because like IDAT said, it is fun. There's a lot of comradery in the military and you can create life long relationships with people and everyone enjoys playing with the equipment. But what's not shown is the end results. Our vets that come home with awful life long health complications and no support - assuming they come home at all. But that's also a reason people join. They know that if they die, their life insurance and military benefits go to their next of kin. And if you're poor, there's something very enticing about providing for your family even if you die.

How to brainwash children.. this is disturbing

There's a good video on KZread of a guy speaking about his experiences as an AC130 gunner in Afghanistan. Apparently all the crewmen get extremely sick from the toxic chemicals in the munitions and end up with severe migraines, joint pain, nausea, and even cancers. He developed PTSD from a fire mission in which he had to target a compound full of civilians that the enemy was using as cover.

@basedsneedclave175

3 ай бұрын

The depressing thing about them getting sick is that the means to prevent it are actually provided But the gunner crews and their officers just have this awful culture of it being considered weak to project yourself from cancer and those in charge just don’t do anything about it. As for what caused his PTSD is that he had to watch as a squad screaming for his team’s support for a fire run on a building that was lighting them up and chewing away at their cover but his ac 130 couldn’t fire because rules had come in that essentially needed confirmation from the top brass for air support to be utilised so all that time he had to watch while wanting to blow the ever living shit out of the building, until the soldiers managed to get away on their own unscathed and he saw the women and children exiting the building. Thats what caused his ptsd the realisation that he was not only willing but wanting to blow up a building full of women and children to protect other soldiers.

My brother is in the Marines, and while he hasn't experienced anything that traumatic due to being stationed in relatively safe locations, he's trying to leave ASAP. He's going to be done with his first 4 years in half a year or so, yet he's delt with mood and personality changes that seem to be symptoms of depression, hearing loss, and he hates the structure and restrictions. While he is going to try to milk every last thing he can with his veteran status once he gets out, the problem is that he's being screwed over in doing that very thing. He's being stationed on a ship for a couple of months, leaving him with 2 months or less before he has to have the paperwork ready to leave with honorable discharge. Apparently, it takes MONTHS to get even a single form done and approved, and not only does he barely have the time now to get the MULTIPLES of them done, but he's unable to do them once he is on the ship. Add the fact that he doesn't even get time to readjust or prepare for civilian living once he's off ship, and you have the perfect shit sandwich. I do respect those who put their lives on the line for us no matter what line of work they do or what rank they are, but the system itself is definitely flawed and not supportive to those that have served. The thing about the military is that you aren't seen as a person anymore; and that is both with stretching the lines of morality and how you are treated. Our troops are trained to live this way - its no wonder why so many regret or struggle with normal life post service.

And he was tricked into enlisting in the navy by propaganda that said war was fun, that it was honorable, that it was good, in fact, the recruitment officers he spoke to said that he was anxious he'd "Miss the war," and so, while the US Army was camped in Okinawa, my grandfather was put on a ship to the island. There his company was ambushed during the Battle of Okinawa, and in search of cover, he dove into what he thought was an abandoned foxhole. That day, my 19 year old grandfather was forced to kill a young man not much older than himself in a hole in the ground. Over 20 years later, a friend of my family was drafted to fight in Vietnam, to which my grandfather responded with a lawsuit to the US government to get him out of the Selective Service. All these tiktok esque ads for the army are no different than the posters that appealed to my grandfather over 75 years ago. We have changed but they haven't. Please, dear god, may as few people as possible ever have to experience what my grandfather did in the United States military. It only leaves ruined homes, piles of bodies, and rich businessmen. And in the case of my family, only broken children betrayed by powers they thought on their side when in reality, they'd kill us for a few dollars.

"the impact (this gunship) had around the world" ... well it certainly had an impact on civilian houses around the world.

Popularity there is growing. But it's a serious stranglehold and it's done masterfully. We're also taught not to care about soldiers as people with phrases like "boots on the ground." Those aren't people. They're just boots. They never have existed. They're already dead. You need not mourn for their deaths used to prop up the world's biggest industry: warfare.

9:45 something of interest: essentially everyone who has been assigned a role in an ac-130j has or is dying from exposure to toxic chemicals. The shells are filled with chemicals and when the gun fires the breech opens and lets in fumes into the cabin where the crew breath it in. The military refused to classify it as a service related issue and wont provide medical care for the crews. Not that it would help much, They're all dying young from cancer, respiratory diseases and other issues. The U.S. military continues using and the AC-130j and commissioning new crew knowing that it's killing crews. No AC-130j has been shot down yet the death rate for crews are record high for any military position (much higher than marines on the ground). Crew members that have spoken talk about the culture inside where everyone knows they are dying and have given up hope and have given in to the fact that they're all dying and no one cares. Some have talked about how they continue in their posting because it means other soldiers wont be tricked into the position, thereby killing them too

07:25 I joined the Army a little after High School so that I would have the G.I.Bill to pay for college. I had a Bright Futures scholarship which, in the state of Florida, pays for 100% of college because I had a great GPA in school and good test scores (ACT & SAT). However, I quickly realized in my first semester that I had ZERO money for living expenses and with no help from parents (divorced,both lower class) I had to get a part time job. That job had me working 32 hours a week just to make ends meet which, in turn, left me very little time to study and dedicate to college. Didn't register for the next semester and went to a recruiter. Worst 4 years and 2 deployments of my fucking life but, 11 years later, I finished my Master's degree with no student loans. Why did I risk my whole life just to go to college and not struggle? Because America I guess fml

Also, for the greater good of what? To mercilessly destroy other people's lands, rights, and cultures just to gain more resources? while lying saying it is for "freedom and democracy"? If they wanted to spread freedom and democracy, it is completely hypocritical by doing it forcefully and that doesn't even work in the first place. They could instead use all that money from the army to send these lands information and our own resources to naturally learn how they can possibly make their society better IF THEY WANTED TO. Better yet, we should being using all that money on ourselves to fix our god awful education, healthcare, justice and etc... systems and fixing issues like poverty, homelessness, starvation, and so fourth as well. Fuck no, the US Army has not been for defense in forever, it has all been about offense and walking over innocent lives to gain resources we literally do not need. For that reason, it is NOT for the greater good at all, but a crime against humanity and our own citizens well-being. The founding fathers literally wanted us to not interact with other nations, and while we shouldn't take it to that extreme, they were most certaintly on to something by saying that.

The T-Shirt you are wearing, the one with the withe hoods on it, it has a strong anti-military dictatorship meaning in my country Argentina. It represents the mothers and grandmothers of the abducted children during the dictatorship of the 70s, they marched on "Plaza de mayo" every day for years until justice was done and the military men who comited the war crimes where condemned, some of them still behind bars. I dont know the meaning of that symbol in Australia, but if you are not aware of, it was a incredible coincidence. Every argentinian will recognize this inmediatly, its rooted on our soucial history and indiosincracy. Great video, very funny as always.

That definitely seems intentional. Other anti war organizations have used white headscarves as a symbol for the need for peace. The Turkish Peace Mothers, for example, seem to have used it as well. Unfortunately... There seems to be either a lack of interest or purposeful restriction of information on some of these groups. Can't find much. Also can't find that shirt anywhere or the hoods being arranged like that.

When I was in highschool, they would always have military recruiters from every branch at ouf career days talking to 15-17 year olds, these people are just groomers with guns

The Go*rmy ads over here are unironically "hey come join it's just like a videogame." They'll take different jobs and interpret them as roles straight out of fps games ("the medic," "the hacker," etcetera), and they edit the ads in such a way it doesn't even seem like you're doing a job nor fighting against real people. These ads also are not typically able to be disabled i.e. you can't say "don't show me this, it's irrelevant/inappropriate/repetitive"; likewise, on Reddit for example you cannot block, downvote, nor (I think) comment on the official accounts for these organizations; and yes, I say it again they do have official Reddit accounts solely for the sake of advertising. It is insidious. These ads will show them doing a mock drone strike and be like "you can do that cool thing you saw in a videogame too! Join us and neutralize threats in the safety of a bunker far from the field" or some shit like that. Those would be real people, you would have blood on your hands; they are solely advertising to young people, young people who are largely ignorant to the horrors of war and can be made to commit a decade of their life before they really know what they're getting into.

I had a family member who was a recruitment officer convince me to join the army at 18 when I was struggling to pay for college. I took my asvab and qualified for all the positions I wanted. This family member then convinced me to choose none of them and do infantry (you know, the most dangerous one) cause thats what he needed. I was so young and impressionable I did. Luckily after I thought about it more I stopped myself from joining, but I almost did. Now that I am older it's so crazy to even think about.

12:50 it' s been a year but this "go army" gets me everytime 🤣

The first video they were reacting to is written like the essay an 11th grader would write about visiting a museum on a school trip.

After high-school a recruiter called pretending to work for the school as a guidance counselor. I told him all my plans and he suggested the military to pay for it. I said no way and he wished me luck and hung up. The deception is par for the course when they incentivize individual recruitment over their own ethics rules.

The weird thing about the US military despite how absurdly big it is and the... interesting international events it gets involved in, is that the work life of many military personal is probably very mundane. Which i think really speaks to just how big it actually is

The person in the second video was in the Air Force, in a media postion, before he started out on his "own". He obviously is still focused on promoting the AF, but is not a member. His videos are pretty high quality on a consistent basis.

As someone who joined the Army because I lost my job while my wife was pregnant and had no other options I can confirm that the war crimes are by far the best part. Another positive are all the fatherless children that kinda look like me running around in Poland.
