It is very effective in portraying the message that we should be thankful and appreciative of out troops, the brave as they are refered to in this bumper sticker. The ideology of many people across the nation is that without our military, we would not be free and freedom is very important to most everyone in the United States, no matter your stance on political issues. This is a clear message about being thankful for the sacrifices so many have made for our freedom as a nation. This bumper sticker appeals to the commonplace of every American who has ever heard the national anthem, which one could assume to be the vast majority. We also could have been taken over by the Axis Powers in WW2 without the brave soldiers that stormed the beaches of Normandy and broke the Nazi strangle hold on France. It is also true that, had we not had such brave and strong military, the allies would have lost WW1. Without a military it is possible and very plausible, that we would still be an English colony. In the national anthem it say’s in the last line, “O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.” This message also implies that without our military we would not be free, and that, objectively speaking would be true. The message, “Land of the Free because of the Brave” is reminiscent of our national anthem. This particular bumper sticker contains a very pro-military message and portrays this message both through the words and the choice of colors. While one my not agree with the message that is being displayed, they would know what it is saying. This bumper sticker is eight words long, yet through its use of rethorical devices, we already know the meaning and the beliefs that the person driving this car hold.
