The advertising campaigns for the armed forces tell us a lot about them. Once upon a time, advertisements in print and on the airwaves contained messages like "defend your country", "fight for freedom", and "stop tyranny". Today the military's advertising messages can be boiled down to "we'll send you to college", "travel the world", "learn job skills", or "we have great health care benefits". It makes one wonder whether the purpose of the military is to defend our nation or to serve as another way for the government to take care of people.

For some, the military is an alternative to welfare. Less now that they're going in harm's way, but back in the 90s...

How about "Join the Army - You Won't Get Outsourced".
