I just saw a commercial for the French army on TV here. They are so much cooler than the US army! It’s exactly like a video game, but with a techno/hip-hop soundtrack! Plus, they don’t really fight, like, actual wars.
I think this is the commercial I saw:
As presented, being in the French army involves, in order:
1) Climbing a wall.
2) Looking at a fancy 3d computer display.
3) Making out with your (government-issued? vivé le socialisme!) hot French girlfriend on a roof.
4) Showing grateful black people something (porn?) on your laptop.
5) Holding your newly-born child child while your suspiciously non-postnatal-looking hottie gazes on adoringly.
6) Gesturing at equipment (is that an oscilloscope?) with both hands like an idiot (or a flight attendant).
Wow! How can I sign up?
In any case, it’s pretty clear that the French government has spent a lot of money on this ad campaign. There are several other great ads on youtube.
Look! The French army is exactly like a Medal of Honor game:
And this one makes me think that maybe the whole French army is just on E a lot of the time:
French army is better than the American army my ass. Have you seen American military commercials? What about this one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDZ2fMHTvwk
As a US Marine, you would get to dive through some sort of spinning blade tube, followed by climbing into a gladiator arena, grabbing a broadsword and using it to kill a 200 foot tall lava monster.
Remember the motto of the Marines.
Ours is not to question why(we fight lava monsters)
Ours is only to do(kill lava monsters) or die(fighting the lava monsters, the horrible horrible lava monsters)
Beat that France.
