Looking at these ads, it’s clear propaganda has become more sophisticated over time. Some of them feel a bit manipulative.
Manipulative or just realistic? The military is a serious job, after all.
The ‘Be All You Can Be’ slogan still stands out. It’s timeless in a way modern ads struggle to match.
Agree. Those older campaigns had a strong emotional pull that’s hard to replicate now.
The contrast between the 50s ads and today’s is striking. So much more inclusivity and tech focus now.
Times change, and so do the values reflected in these ads. It’s a sign of progress.
Interesting to see how recruitment messaging has evolved. Do modern ads still resonate with younger generations the same way?
Great observation. The focus on technology and diversiti is definitely a shift from the old-style patriotism pitch.
I wonder if the newer ads actually lead to more enlistments. Has anyone done a study on this?
