Some time ago I saw that in a theater and thought it was so great that I found it and started a thread here. But everybody is right: it is propaganda, it is a sales pitch, it is a recruiting video. Just like the one I saw back in the fifties, showing an F-104 screaming through the clouds while a stirring song played with the lyrics:
"They took the blue from the skies and the pretty girls' eyes, and a touch of Old Glory too;
And they gave them to the men who proudly wear the U.S. Air Force Blue."
"The Navy. More than just a job - it's an Adventure!"
Even the 'official' songs of the different services are designed to make civilians want to join up.
Or compare the German 'propaganda' posters and British and American 'recruiting' posters from WWII: are they all that different? No. It's just the way the game is played.
