Flashback to 1979: Military Ads
Since America ended the draft, the military has had to recruit. Like any good advertiser, they've learned how to couch their message in the style and medium of teen culture. Today, they produce video games where you can fly combat aircraft. In 1979, their target audience wore bell bottoms and rode Harleys. And in that more innocent time, the selling point could still be the path to an affordable college education that the Army could provide.

Greetings Sonja Shield and readers!!
I just dropped by in order to share with you all some thoughts about this kind of concerning matter, which has catched my eye at first sight. The matter of fact in here is that as every single thing in our daily life, it is a must for us to take the chance life's give us, no matter what anyone else say. By following your heart, it will lead you somewhere you have always wanted to be. In fact, this morning, I woke up feeling like surfing the net, I had a feeling that something good was going to occur, indeed, it did! I mean, finding your blog has been such a marvelous experience since I am able to discover and understand new things by reading your column. I have heard that learning something new everyday is a great way to keep interested in life facts.
