I see, you're ok with glamorizing war and military life as long as it's not the military itself that's doing the glamorizing.

The way I see it the military is a vehicle for future employment and helping pay for college unless you advocate eliminating those benefits.

Like it or not advertizing goes hand in hand with having an all-volunteer military. If you want to eliminate military marketing then you're going to have to find another way to meet manpower requirements, and the only realistic alternative that I see is the draft.
