I just saw this ad it shows action inside of a tank where they are drawing down on the enemy with their guns. They say “1200 yards!!!…fire.! But when they shoot out that way, it just shows them hitting some sand. Why does it not show them hitting the enemy and blowing them to smithereens? Is that political correctness question? I am just asking. .

Probably because they don't want to the audience to have images of dying people associated with the Army.

It'd be a hilarious take-off on that commercial if they were shooting at the White House with Joe Biden standing in front of it, I hope someone dies it.

Contestants, place your bets. Was he drunk when he made this thread?

I could think of 4-5 snarky responses, but I'll just add that war is not a video game Joe. Graphics are not the point of it all.

When I was in the Air Force we'd see video compilations of jets blowing up buildings and people with air to ground missiles, 20 mm Vulcan cannons, etc. during squadron get-togethers at the O Club.
We'd laugh like hell at them getting blasted to bits.
Good times.

Graphics are necessary for advertisements, are they not? Don't get your meaning. But I hope you got mine. The ad was done obviously by liberals...being liberal with the real facts of war...blowing things up. They did not want to offend anyone's sensibilities. It is a good post, my being tipsy or not.

Wrong Joe - Radio advertisements have been able to get their point across without "graphics" for over a century, so too has most print advertising, both of which the Army has used many times in the past.

You don't win any of these debates, do you? 😏
