AFN Commercial: Proud to Serve Again

Here’s another fun “commercial” from the Armed Forces Network, or AFN.  In this video, former military are encouraged to take up a job teaching.  While this is an admirable profession and I certainly would never suggest otherwise, whenever you’re trying to convince someone to do something, it’s good to portray that in as positive a light as possible.  This is something I learned in Army psychological operations training.  So a teacher-student ratio of 1 to 4 not only makes the profession look attractive, it also saves money on child actors and extras.  The fact that they’re all eager to soak up their teacher’s wisdom – even if he does mispronounce “kaffiyeh” (it’s “kuh-fee-yeh”) are all bonus.  I’m inspired!  Are you?
