Government Propaganda, an TV's number one new show

Toinght as I lay in wait for Sons of Anarchy on FX, I decided to watch the last 15 minutes of NCIS Los Angeles to see what all the hype was about. In the last commercial break, a spot appeared for you guessed it, THE NAVY. The last few minutes of the show was very good, coming from an asleep 75 percent crowd stance. It really tugged at your heart strings how they foiled a huge political assasination, and let the mark go during the human element portion of the wrap up. So as you ride this emotional high, comes this ad for the Navy. It was perfectly placed propaganda if I might say so, but what disturbed me the most about the ad was the Navy's new pitch phrase "A GLOBAL FORCE FOR GOOD" .
Let's disect what this means for second. A global force, could mean the earth is 75 percent water and the Navy occupies all of it so it's just trying to save the world from terrorists. Or the Navy is now a great new police force for the empire know as the united states. Or it's simply just a new recruiting method. You decide, some of you who read and saw this might not have evn noticed this the way I did, I'm just pointing it out
