Beautiful art direction. Fantastic typography. Great writing (especially towards the end of body copy.) Very inspiring work.
Very good line. My second favourite of the campaign.
USA is NOT AMERICA.

Really nice lines.
And as to the America or USA question, the proper designation is probably a matter of target audience...
Scam
i'm spotting typos everywhere - scam!
these are wonderful, well done.
"USA is not America!" blah blah blah. Get over it.
Stay serious, guys, it's just another "war museum" campaign using old black & white pics and so so lines... We've seen so much better.
Remember this one for the D-Day museum (Cannes lion in 2001) : "It was called the longest day, but for the soldiers in Company A, it ended at 7:15" (old photo of dead GIs), or "When a plane went down that morning, you didn't need a little black box to tell you why" (old pic of crashed military plane). Just an example amongst many others.
Not bad, but not an award !
Those lines are not nearly as hard-hitting, though.

I have to disagree with you. you can say i might be biased by i'm vietnamese, or that i'm only a student. but this ad has far more attitude than the d-day campaign (i looked at it on google). Of course, it's not for an audience that is american patriotic, but it is the true story of an american humiliation. try read the body copy maybe you learn something.
Blah, blah, scam blah. Pick your noses in public.
Oh... Saatchi Vietnam, and there's only one Vietnamese in the credits of 9 person?

... I see 6 people on credit list, and 2 vietnamese names. by the way, in vietnam most creatives are expats. Ignorance is bliss
i dont see roger makak's name anywhere.
we're all one people in this world baby. lets hug and get along.
this is lovely work. There are so many opportunities for work like this in Asia but so few agencies seem to take them. This is the kind of work that makes you feel as if the quality of writing in advertising can be right up there with 'real' writing work like novels and magazine articles. Brilliant.
love it love it love it!!!
This is really engaging. And the copy is great - makes me actually want to visit this museum.
