As a retired Army colonel, I initially was taken aback that service members would allow themselves to potentially run afoul of the law (UCMJ) by appearing in uniform in an advertisement. That is strictly forbidden. Upon further viewings, I see that the 'ad' gets around that by being a thinly disguised 'salute to our men and women in uniform'. Hopefully, those service members got JAG approval to participate. Honoring or exploiting our service members? I have my opinion but I'll keep that to myself.
