# Land with the U.S. Marines

Marine Corps recruiting strip: a crowded rubber landing boat of helmeted, rifle-carrying men is paddled through surf, with the script headline 'Land with the U.S. Marines' wrapped around it. The technique is faint; the closest is bandwagon, since the viewer is invited to join a packed, shared effort, followed by an instruction to apply at a recruiting station.
