Propaganda!! in the USA!!! Today!!!

Prop-a-gan-da:

information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc.

            So I did some research and I've decided to look at the propaganda aimed at recruiting people to the army. One thing's for sure; you don't see THESE: anymore. Rather, what's done today is very subtle in contrast to the poster. Nowadays, it's all about showing/giving some small info that'll grave one's attention, say a Go Army commercial, and the commercial says if they want to know more, go online and check it out.

           

            Commercials, that's it? This would lead me to think that today's propaganda that's meant to recruit people is very weak. That was until I did my research. THE US ARMY IS EVERYWHERE!!! not really lol but they definitely are putting a lot of money, time, and effort with their propaganda. These are my discoveries:

·       The US Army has their own video game designed to give users a small "virtual experience" ? of how it is to be in the army. This is definitely propaganda, and look how much effort's been put in it...for the past 9 YEARS!

 US army spends $32.8 million on propaganda videogame

·         The other more eye opening propaganda the US Army used was the "Army Experience". It's in a mall in Philadelphia first of all and one thing's for sure; it's every COD "no life's" heaven! It is a very high tech life simulating experience of really getting as close to real war without the danger.

Just look at this!:

The Humvee is stationary and the screens in front of them move. they also have simulations similar to this but in a helicopter rather than the Humvee.

If this isn't Propaganda today, then I don't know WHAT is!
