It’s new school navy, where you get to guard convoys…because all the grunts are busy shooting at other shit.

At first I totally thought it was a leg. Which, you know, would actually serve the same point.

DO YOU HAVE THE GUTS TO WATCH SAID GUTS SPEWED ON BEHALF OF A LYING PRESIDENT WHO NEVER SERVED FOR A POINTLESS WAR?

Well do ya?

I just…I don’t get why one’s masculinity must constantly be proven by doing things that can kill you. It seems antithetical to the continuation of the species.

The link on the ad goes to the Explosive Ordnance Division, aka the teams that sweep for and disarm mines/IEDs/etc. But the idea is still the same — “do you have what it takes” to face IEDs for living? Blech.

I’m also joining the “What the heck are you trying to say here?” Is that you’re so brave that you go into IED territory? Is that you leave IED? WTF?

How about:

“Join the Navy - Sure, you’re stuck on a ship with a bunch of other guys, but there’s no IEDs there!”

Do you have what it takes to get blown up by an IED? Do you have what it takes to walk around and remove IED’s with a pair of scissors? WTF are they trying to say here?

Looks like a vibrator to me. (But lots of things look like vibrators to me.)

…the hell?

Do you have what it takes… to create an ad that’s likely to offend people both for and against the war?

By disposing of explosive devices with scissors? Wow.
