I don’t know how old the song is, but I saw this video playing before a movie a couple of months ago and it stuck with me. Well done video and song.

To avoid any controversy let me preface this by saying God bless our troops. I mean no disrespect and don’t want this to turn into a political debate.
Propaganda at its best (or worst). I tend to have problems with these promotional videos that reel young kids in by romanticizing the military, especially in a time like this. I could do without it or any other commercials in movie theaters.

There’s no doubt that it’s being used as a recruiting tool. And it is a good one. But let’s not forget that any medium that has a message is a sort of propaganda.
On a side note, notice how many times in this election a songwriter or performer has asked a candidate to NOT play their songs at their political rallies because they don’t agree with the candidates positions. Interesting that the song can be seen as a rallying cry for such diverse points of view!
Good responses ZONErs!
Nice video. I saw this a bunch of times on the big screen.
