I just saw this commercial on TV tonight and here is a youtube link to it:
Link.
The first, to me, shocking thing was advertising that they help our citizens when natural disasters occur (about 36 seconds in). Sure, this is a great
thing and all, but being on this site has got me skeptical.
Anyway, the real issue, to me at least, is that America's Navy is being advertised as a global force for good. Sure, a country having a Navy is a
very global affair, but doesn't the term "global force" bring to mind a coalition of various nations? It does to me.
About 53 seconds into the commercial, it shows a map of the globe and stars that represent, I guess, Naval bases, so I guess they're just saying
that, because they have bases all over the world, they are a global force. I don't know, being on this site makes me skeptical, like I said. What do
you all think?
Also, this must be their tag line now because it's even on their
official site (look where the website name is
displayed on the top of your web browser).
