I would hazard a guess that numbers are lower these days due to media coverage of the war rather than the lack of recruitment adverts. It seems to me that the only coverage the war gets is when one of our boys is killed or there is a freak accident. How many times since the occupation have you heard a report about the progress we're making or about a successful operation?

Also, don't forget that the Marines are a small part of the Navy and they still have ad campaigns all the time. I can't remember the last time the Army had a Para specific advert.
Aways look on the bright side of life.
