There has been a buzz all over the internet, and I have been receiving e-mails about a commercial that is being run on cable that is a recruitment tool to get young people to sign up for something called the Earth Space Defense Force.
This is a multicultural, multinational force that will be defending the world against aliens in the new movie Independence Day: Resurgence in theaters June 24th.
The Army’s latest recruiting effort dips into a parallel universe, attempting to engage young sci-fi fans who may not be aware of the military’s high-tech positions they will have to fill for a future war in space with familiar enemies and some not so familiar or even imagined.
