I think people are focusing too much on political implications of the video that they're projecting onto it. The video's about a kid who loses his father in war. Kid wants to honor his dad, so he himself joins. It's a poetic thing to then have that kid as an adult deliver the same message that was delivered to him all those years ago.
It's not a "join the army motherfuckers" video. It's not pro-war. It depicted the tragedy that war can inflict on a family, that's it. The message, I think, got a little blurry towards the end.
And of course the MOH game footage was completely classless and clunky as shit. But that's what happens when you partner with a video game company for promotion.
I liked the video, a lot. Better to have some semblance of story than to throw together a performance video with dumb effects like with BID.
