Media Bites - US Air Force Ad

In this week's Media Bites we take a look at a recent US Air Force recruiting commercial that features the use of the unmanned drones. We analyze this ad in the context of how the US military uses popular media for targeting youth. We also address how this ad sanitizes the use of Predator Drones that are currently being used in the US wars in Iraq, Afghanistan & Pakistan.

Well, the military is supported by millions of Americans who pay taxes. In fact, military recruiting ads such as these are paid for by the public, so the issue is not weather anyone supports the military, the point of this spot it to get people to think critically about the propaganda that the military uses to target youth.

Well, God forbid that anyone would support the Military, and God forbid that the Military would try and recruit people.
