Inconsistencies

[edit]

Why are Casablanca and Duck and Cover in this article? Casablanca especially. An American film made during World War 2 being anti-fascist? How outlandish! Jokes aside, if that's all it takes to be a "recruitment tool," then practically every movie could be a recruitment tool. I'm gonna remove it from the list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.7.118.38 (talk) 22:23, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No proof of games being recruiting tools

[edit]

There is no proof provided that games like the Rainbow 6 series, Delta Force, Socom, etc were in any ways planed to be marketing tools. Especially dubious is the claim on Rogue Spear, which is about an international NATO anti-terrorist group, and in no way even involves or mentions the US Army. Also questionable is that Delta Force seeks to recruit members, since it is a secret government agency that doesn’t accept applicants off the street. Thus unless sources can be provided that in some way that these said groups paid to be advertised in the game, or that the designers goal was to recruit for said groups, then it can’t be viewed as accurate.

True, but they fall into glorifiying philosophies when it comes to game substance. Probably because its easier to advertise a game in which US soldiers are portrayed as heroes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.83.57.71 (talk) 23:18, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The title is too unspecific

[edit]

"Recruitement tools" can be anything; the article focuses on movies and advergames. We should either expand the scope of clarify the title. Salvidrim! 15:33, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
