Neither. From this thread we can clearly see that it is the potential 'customer', if you will, that is important. The military markets itself with clips of cool looking infantrymen shooting cool guns and crawling or running through picturesque terrain with exciting music playing in the background. And all of this with the promise of a better future. Of course, after decades of seeing this sort of thing, the women want it too. It would appear that military advertising is more effective than even the Pentagon would have liked.
