Here's what they used during the Korean War to recruit naval aviators. 


They had to get a little more creative during Viet Nam.  After all, they were going into the "Me Decade"....



Here's something from just a few years ago, designed to appeal to the whiz-bang, videogamer technology geek.....

I have no problem with the last image: a dorky guy in pajamas promoting a completely screwed up government program.

I dislike all of the previous images for their glorification of battle and war. They are more deceptive than the ObamaCare ad.

OMG MingoV....You make me want to claw my eyes out....You simpering weasel!!!! Grow a back bone and get back to earth before you begin your orbit of Venus!!!!
I'm a 58 yo male and I lived through some of the most testicular crunching times due to folks like you. Your attitude doesn't even come naturally; you need to have been brainwashed to think that Onesie boy is a good model for America!!!
