I think this promotes a negative image of America. In my opinion it is hypnotising people into believing that they should join not just the U.S. army but any armed force. Eventhough this image was promoted for the Vietnam War it is still very relevant to today's society. We are all aware of the war in Iraq. My view is that this poster is glamourising war and being in the armed forces and is not showing the horrifying and scary side. We often hear in the news and see in newspapers about the men and women being killed and seriously injured in Iraq.
