Family Strong

The facts that this video provides is that families that have relatives in the army, they need to be strong. They have to hang in there not only for themselves but for there family too. What they don't show is that if you do go to the army, you might not come back the same way as when you were leaving. I mean that you can get injured, lose a body part, and even maybe killed. It might be all fun at first but after time starts to pass by, not everyone that joins likes it because they start putting there lives at risk. I think that the video is being targeted at the ones that have relatives already and also for those who thought about it. It's trying to say that if someone from your family goes to the army or recruited, not only them will become strong but there families also. It will make you stronger in a way that you will need to be able to confront all the fears with those in the army and also be strong for the little ones in your family. The video says that it will not make the family strong. That it will make them army strong. When I saw the film, it's sorta true but at the same time it doesn't only make you strong, but it can also make you weaker sometimes. It shocked me a little bit because I have an uncle and also a good friend of mine that was raised with me since 5 years of age. My uncle and friend are in the front of the lines and it's great to here from them telling me that they're ok but at the same time scared. Scared because they have a bigger possibility on them getting killed. I know that they'll be ok though. Some words that they used in the video such as: "there's family strong. And then there's Army Family strong" it's not that true because some families can't recover from this because maybe there loved ones got hurt or got killed while they were in the army.

  1. WOW this is so true, I think the same way that you do, I did this same video and i said similar things, is very sad to see how we loose loved ones in the army and then after that we are not army strong.

  2. That's a good point, the commercial really doesn't tell you how children at home suffer knowing that one of their family members is in the war. Like if a mother had to go to war imagine how the children would feel. Your blog is Interesting. Keep up the good work!
