The Newest Marine Corps Commerical

[erpowers]

I understand some people do not wanted to talk about Marine Corps commerical, but I would like to know what duers think about the newest Marine Corps commerical. The commerical I am talking about is the one in which a number of Marines are lined up in a single row and are spinning drilling rifles. While different shots are shown there is a voice over. In my opinion, this commerical is not as good as some of the previous commerical and it seems that the Marine Corps could have done a better job with the commerical. It just seems pretty bland to me. The link below is of the extended version of the commerical.

1. Gives me chills up and down my spine

Marine Corps silent drill team is impressive, and the symbolism of them appearing all over the place, from Independence Hall to Main Street, is very powerful.

God Bless the Marine Corps.

Semper Fidelis.

2. The ideas of esprit d'corps and commitment that this imagery represents

is designed to be very appealing certain young men.

If I were trying to talk young men into fighting and dying in a war for me I might just choose such symbolism for my advertisements.

3. Our sister service looks so cute in their colorful little uniforms

No one can twirl their rifles like the core.
