Marketing the military
An encore edition originally broadcast November 30, 2005
With the war in Iraq showing no sign of cooling down and recent indications of increasing threats from terrorists both foreign domestic we thought this would be an appropriate moment to rebroadcast this eye opening look at the renewed "surge" in military recruitment efforts.
The United States military has recently been pouring millions of tax dollars into recruitment efforts in an attempt to counteract well-publicized, Iraq war-influenced, recruitment dropoffs.
We'll examine several of these efforts, including a new military ad campaign aimed not only at teens, but at parents; an inside perspective at how Army recruiters fill the ranks; and counter-recruitment efforts in high schools. We'll also hear about a student-based effort to help other teens make informed choices.
For a free listener packet on military recruitment and counter-recruitment, please call us toll-free at 800-529-5736.
