We all know that the Department of Defense was (and still is) desperate for new recruits in all branches of the military. What is less well known is a program that the Marines, in particular, had of trying to compete for today&#8217;s sex, violence and drug-obsessed youth. An apparently newly declassified video reveals one such trial effort. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A number of the commenters on the video mentioned that the &#8220;recruiters&#8221; are out of uniform, but that&#8217;s the least of the problems with this &#8220;recruiting video&#8221;. There&#8217;s absolutely no way the Marines or any other branch of the military is going to use this to recruit. That&#8217;s not the kind of recruits they want to attract. Sure they get that kind of recruit, but they&#8217;re not going looking for them.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to look like you don&#8217;t know anything about the military is to give this video any measure of credibility.<\/p>\n<p>And what the Hell is the <a href=\"http:\/\/hardinginstitute.org\/index.html\">Harding Institute<\/a>? <\/p>\n<p>This, however, might be a real Air Force recruiting video;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RZZ_gyJcdiU\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to one of my ninjas for the link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a few years old, but it&#8217;s still circulating on the internet among the anti-recruiting, &hellip; <a title=\"The Few and The Proud &#8211; Red Band Marine Recruiting Video\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=22828\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The Few and The Proud &#8211; Red Band Marine Recruiting Video<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,131],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22828","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-antiwar-crowd","category-i-hate-hippies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22828","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=22828"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22828\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=22828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=22828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=22828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
