- Social media addicts, gym lovers and even binge drinkers are all being targeted in the British Army's new advertising campaign to boost recruitment.
It centres around building self-confidence in potential recruits, hopes to continue the success of a similar effort 12 months ago - which saw a record number of applications.
But despite that, the size of Britain's armed forces last year continued to fall, for the ninth year in a row.

When I was 18 I tried to join the U.S. Marine. Corps. To follow in the footsteps of my uncle's who I looked up to, more than my own father. I worked out to be able to pass the physical standards. I ran 3 miles at under 20 minutes I could do the pull ups easy and I was in great shape. I started the process and scored a 99 on the asvab. I was told I could do any job I wanted. Then they found out I stole some beer from a store when I was 15. That was it. All my training for nothing. I tried the other branches and they didn't want me either. I was so bummed I used to sleep under a marine corps flag while I was training. Anyways, after all these years I'm glad it happened that way. I do not respect the woke direction the US military is headed. It looks weak to me. All the vets I know are ashamed of what's happening in the military.
Could have been left in Afghanistan last year and tortured this year. Biden just picked up and left. Many american families, british families left in country.
@@jackfrosty4674 yeah, they had no business there. serves them right.

I agree that Iraq and Afghanistan were initially invaded illegally but people forget that the UN stepped in very quickly to set up ISAF for the re-establishment and maintenance of peace and security in both countries. But hey some people don't want to listen and they'd just be thinking of what they're going to say next as I'm speaking so I won't be getting listened to.

Honestly I like how they addressed all of the current "fads" (for lack of a better word) that are seen in the latest generation of teens and young adults. It really is a generation of trends, fashion, and partying. It seems like they're a shortening number of people who are willing to serve or get their hands dirty or be willing to stand up when needed.
No one is needed to fight by the British people. Greedy politicians need people to fight. If there was a threat to the security of Britain, every able bodied man and woman would take up arms and fight. Which is why millions fought in the Great Wars of the 20th century. Germany was taking the piss both times and the British resolve won both times.
People are understanding is not worth to fight senseless wars and come back wounded.

Hiya, While I am not one for singing the army praises and such as after the army it was a "best of luck boyo" sort of deal. One thing I did learn in the army is how to break the chain of being bullied and marginalized. I went through some really hard times in the army but it actually gave me the confidence to look up in the real world and I think this advert resonates with me. However, there is a lot of problems when people leave the army. I am lucky my employer was understanding when I left. Any regs reading this, do not join the TA its bumfluff :D
I have great respect and admiration for soldiers. Maybe that's why I wanted to follow the same path as them. Just a wish that will never come true.

My grandparents both were in the British Army their brothers and sisters as well also in the Royal Navy. It was a different time then and they never talked to me about the war. I think my family saw too much ..would even go as far to say they steered me away from it! The threat of invasion was imminent so I think they just did what they had to do. Everyone in my family survived and they were on the front lines! Unless our countries are in grave danger I don't think the youth will feel the same way.

No one is going to publicly admit they lack “self - confidence” on sky news, especially if they actually lack “self - confidence”.
Everyone lacks confidence in one way or another. Even in personal and professional goals that often requires motivation for them to continue. Even if they don't say it, they show it, especially when addressed upon it.
This may be true, but it is beside the point. Sky news is here to shed light and make insightful comments on our society.
They need to be explicit with their findings, and in order to do that they need to analyse them.
Simply accepting what people say on interview without considering why/ how likely they are to admit something (in this case a lack of self - confidence) isn’t very helpful.
To truly find out whether today’s generation lack a level of self confidence possessed by preceding generations, they have to do more research and analysis to come to a quality conclusion.
This isn’t to say that everyone doesn’t lack confidence at some point or at some time in their life. It is commentary on whether today’s society lacks a level of confidence which can’t be acquired by quick fixes and instant gratification. A level of confidence that is diminishing in our society, which the Army try to address in their new Recruiting Adverts.
I throw myself headfirst into a problem thats not self confidence thats being an idiot
Seeing ex-soldiers coming home to nothing, lacking money; losing their homes, their families. That's what I fear.
Nodel Oliver how r they, they get paid and how r they loosing homes and fam
I know this is the British Army, but here in the US I have a college degree and am a home owner purely because of my service. I'd never be able to afford the education otherwise
Many of those vets tend to make poor decisions with their money, never used the education benefits, and have substance abuse problems. Make smart moves and it can be a huge jumping off platform.
Nodel Oliver the pay isn’t even that bad in fact for a youngster it’s pretty good
Most homeless vets tend to have their money stolen from a wife that left them when they joined and such. Whilst some is unlucky the fact that some are for instance disabled and therefore their family doesn't want them is ID say a huge cause

Homeless veterans should be housed instead of refugees, these men have served our country, idc about a stupid advert and the media blowing out of proportion I love my country so much I'm still joining the British army at 16. Thanks for 1k likes guys. It means alot to me
Same dude. Same
Honestly their job is to literally give up their lives to protect their country.
Here here
Well the veterans displaced the refugees in the first place so...
@@unity_talon no veterans didn't the government did by declaring war on each over
Pfft, Everyone was just disappointed they couldn’t climb Everest, obviously
Yes 😡😡
Salutations fellow soviet dog
@@Wafflecop-hm3bd yooooo it’s the original comrade😨
Got to get that selfie at the top for Insta
Hell yeah I would, some things are worth the effort.
I would protect and serve my country no matter what wether it,s life or death
Sorry if this sounds too millennial, I’d just rather not die to protect someone else’s pocket
Nothing wrong with that mate
Yeap, not willing to do a job where I can earn a bullet to the head - thanks but no thanks.
I am afraid that we are talking about your own pocket.
Sounds pretty selfish
Craig Edwards Snowflake comes to mind , from an ex Marine for 23 yrs
Maybe give even MORE benefits. People would be more interested
Chat Wreck military has the best benefits any job can offer do your research
Jupiter HieghtZ okay...?
Jupiter HieghtZ so being homeless is beneficial?
Sovereign veterans who are homeless are “veterans” who didn’t even make it through there full contract and got demoted and pay restricted the entire time they were in there assholes and deserve to be homeless lazy pricks
Jupiter HieghtZ okay thanks for the info.
Literally shattered my self esteem and still suffer with anxiety and depression 12 years later due to being bullied in Afghanistan as a young soldier fresh out of training absolutely doesn't build confidence lol
The armies idea of "confidence" is teaching people to hide there emotions
Yes I always wanted to join the army since I was 3

It's not the US, it's corrupt government and bankers.
I still want to join Indonesia army and I hope I be a elite Force
Atleast link the original video please
"Army: be the best" was and always will be the best slogan and mind set.
Your name is a fitting reply to that statement
sid jenkins he is proud of his military is that so bad?
@@smart7391 He's paying for it. Better to be proud or suffer buyer's remorse? lmao
@@paddy3126 commit better profile picture too
@@theroach2204 this is a character not real name or pic? And I won't get drafted cos I'm from Ireland lmao, nuetural country....
In another 5 years we will have lost another 20000 due to cut backs
Right and who are doing the cut backs, would it be those that have just given themselves a huge pay rise?
@I hate antifa I hate blm By who? Aliens?
@I hate antifa I hate blm Antifa is a bunch of idiots who overestimate their strength. Army is overkill for them.
Well, Boris just announced an increase. At least he ain't totally incompetent.
Yes, my ideal my love my life ❤️ to be a soldier 🪖 of Indian army 🇮🇳
Good luck bhai
Maybe they should put an emphasis on prior enlisted coming back? That would probably be too expensive though.
How can we make this profession look good?
Show dudes hiking in mordor.
Gotta get that ring back to mount doom
Because those who want a challenge, those who want to experience something greater than themselves, those who want to live outside of comfort desire for this.
Yoda ay man I wouldn’t mind being on that op, those movies were days in the life of infantry. Hiking for miles and occasionally reacting to contact
Maybe because citizens are smarter and don't want to risk their lives for some war their country wasn't involved in?
iVince905 maybe people should serve before they are granted citizenship. Citizenship shouldn’t be a birth right. It should be earned.
Lmao
Yeah why waste my life when I'm damn smart enough to be a vet or a docter.
I joined and got out when my contract expired. I'd do it again in a heartbeat, definitely the best experience of my life.
God bless
Hell yeah ive always wanted to be in a tank
sorry the UK is getting rid of their tanks due to cost
