National Guard is Wacky Fun

I know recruiting for the armed forces is tough these days (what with a never-ending and unpopular war in a country that didn't present a risk while Al Qaeda was flourishing elsewhere) (not that I have an opinion on that subject), but does this seem like an appropriate ad for the National Guard?

Serving your country used to be about pride, honor, honing your body and skills, and being a part of an elite team. Now it's about hanging out at bad 3D movies, throwing popcorn, and looking like you wandered away from the set of "Happy Days"? I wasn't sure if this ad was for a United States armed service or for the upcoming release of Mamma Mia 3D! (BTW, speaking of Mamma Mia, have you seen the trailer? Is it just me, or does Meryl Streep look really uncomfortable singing and prancing around?)
