News QUOTE
WASHINGTON - In its battle to win the hearts and minds of recruiting-age Americans, the Army is replacing its main ad slogan — "An Army of One" — with one it hopes will pack more punch: "Army Strong."
The new approach, the fruit of a $200 million-a-year contract with a major advertising agency, was announced Monday by Army Secretary Francis J. Harvey. He said "Army Strong" will be the centerpiece of a multimedia ad campaign to be launched Nov. 9, timed to coincide with Veterans Day weekend
Army Strong? ARMY STRONG?
So this ad company gets $200 million to sit around and think up a slogan that sounds like it comes straight out of the Stoneage?
Army strong! Arabs weak! ARMY SMASH!

And this is the 13th-14th time they changed their slogan. Deal with it, Marines have changed it over 20 times since 1775. 10 or more times for the Navy.

Yeah, I'm American and I didn't care.
But I heard about this new slogan and I went down to the recruiting office and signed up immediately. I leave for Iraq next month.

I joined the mailing list for the TA med unit last week
17 October 2006, 00:31 UTC#14
What's that? The TA Med Unit?
17 October 2006, 00:43 UTC#15
territorial army medical unit ; basically whenever there is a lack of troops to deploy the TA get deployed, pretty much we are the reserves.

I don't give a shit how many times they've changed it. I was just going on about what a fucking stupid slogan it is.

Not to mention the fact that it\'s not even grammatically correct seeing as how it\'s missing a verb.
17 October 2006, 10:11 UTC#19
Look at us posh Grammar school students picking it apart.

Well, my point remains valid. I mean like Rob said, this is the most powerful military force in the world, and they seem to be incapable of stringing together a grammatically correct sentence consisting of three words? Even Frito can do that. Albeit just barely.
