While the U.S. Army promotes its soldiers as disciplined ass-kickers, the Austrian army sells itself around the prospect of scooping up some high-class tail. At least, that was the thrust of this recruitment ad, which got pulled after feminist groups deemed it "sexist." Hard to argue, given that a) the bird's-eye cleavage shots weren't necessary, and b) the guys in the tank made those girls chase after them instead of giving them a lift. Chivalry is dead.
