Marines Endure Tough Talk in New Recruiting Push
Washington AP reports the Marine Corps escalates recruitment with Madison Avenue ads aiming to counter the Army’s "Today’s Army Wants To Join You" campaign. Gen Leonard Chapman stresses a small elite, no promises of easy life, no shortcuts, just "you’ll be Marines." Posters promise toughness with lines like "If you just want to be one of the boys, stick with the boys" and "We never promised you a rose garden" while adopting "We Want Good Men And Then We Make Them Better."
