26. That National Guard commercial is the worst.
I love how you don't see anything resembling the desert environment of Iraq and Afghanistan until like 75% of the way through and then it's only for like 3 seconds.

The other thing I like is that the commercial that always follows the Nat Guard one is all about being care free and skiing and snowboarding all day long in the mountains.

So you can either join the National Guard OR stay home and fuck-off snowboarding all day. I would imagine which one you "choose" is largely determined by the color of your skin and how much money mommy and daddy make.
