Here is a recruitment advertisement
published by the the U. S. Army in the July 1959 edition of Popular Electronics.
This was only a few years after the
Korean War
ended in 1953 and a couple years before we got involved
in the
Vietnam War in 1961. It's always interesting to see what the mindset about
the current state of electronics was
many moons ago, and to compare it with today's technology. In the same manner, people
60 years from now will look at today's recruitment ads and be amazed at how relatively
crude our contemporary state of the art is.
