The Air Force is going large with a new tech-themed recruitment drive sporting the tagline: "A Changing World." In this 30-second TV spot, cool headed airmen in the service's fledgling Cyber Command are seen combating one of the "three million" hacker attacks that target the Pentagon building every day.
My favorite part is when Staff Sergeant Jones wards off the hacker, and the color-coded threat level drops from red to blue.
There's much more Cybarmageddon goodness at the Air Force's official Changing World website, including another video that uses the Estonia DDoS attacks as a call to cyber arms. "The Cold War has given way to cyber war," the narrator intones in a movie trailer hush.
Some would say the Cold War has given way to the Iraq War. But put that in a video and see how many kids sign up.
