Citizen Soldier
So I went and saw Mongol the other night. First movie in a theater I've seen since 300 came out.
I might write about Mongol later (I liked it) but what I was really impressed by was this trailer.
Apparently, I'm the last idiot on the planet to have seen it, but I thought it was fantastic!
At last, an ad agency that understands us! I was particularly impressed with the attention to detail... noting that the 29th Division, a Guard division, was at Normandy (though by 1944 it would have contained few actual Guardsmen).
It works much better on the big screen. So sit up close.
Splash, out

Comments:
It is a Three Doors Down music video exulting US soldiers (presumably Reservists).
IIRC, they had a song called "Superman" back when I was a wee one

Roger on the recruiting ad for the "ARMY National Guard" - the first soldier displays the patch of the famed 45th Infantry Division, Oklahoma Army National Guard.

I got to see this at the theater...awesome. Antoine Fuqua directed the video; at least that's what has been said on wikipedia:
