The military markets itself with a lot of things, from cool looking Infantry
men to soldiers of both sexes sitting at computer consoles, or engaged in medical tasks, or any number of other military support jobs that are just as vital to the missions success as the combat arms.
To claim one single type of Army commercial is what is making women want to be on the front line then I'd say that is a rather large oversimplification and insulting to the intelligence of the fine young men and women who volunteer to serve our country.
