But...

This is not exactly new. The post-WWII GI-Bill, besides doing some very good things for the veterans of that war, created this marketing tactic. It wouldn't play quite as well as it does if the MSM were doing its job and fully informing young people what they're actually signing up to do.

It's a new commercial, yes, but it's the same theme they've used for years. I spent many months almost 20 years ago trying to get rid of a recruiter who used almost idential rhetoric on me, including showing me television commercials intended to put the deal in its best possible light.
