From the Onion:
'Army Of One' Campaign Attracting Troubled Loners To MilitaryFebruary 14, 2001 | ISSUE 46•26 ISSUE 37•05 03.17.04 WASHINGTON, DC–The Army's new "Army Of One" campaign is attracting millions of troubled loners, recruitment officials said Monday. "Historically, Army enlistees are creepy, antisocial drifters," said Sgt. Glenn Decinces of the Army's Recruitment Office. "After years of trying to attract stable, achievement-oriented young patriots with the slogan 'Be All You Can Be,' we finally gave up and decided to consciously go after the freakos we've always drawn." |

While that's badass, and appeals to some of us folk who actually may have/desire potential to be high speed... Most of the world ISN'T high speed. And most people in the Army are just a regular cross-section of our society. The Army is doing it right. They want people to join, not to scare them away with "you won't make it. Don't even try." OP's video showed the plethora of opportunities that the Army has to offer –– one of which just might appeal to someone. You need POGs too, ya know.

OP's video showed the plethora of opportunities that the Army has to offer –– one of which just might appeal to someone. You need POGs too, ya know. That is true. In the case of the Royal Marines, they can afford to have videos like that because they are a relatively small and selective part of the Armed Forces, and are almost entirely a combat force (they do have a few non combat roles in the Commandos) aside from the RM Band Service, which does not do Commando Training. There are about 8000 Royal Marines, regular and reserve personnel combined. That is less than 2% of the combined total of 410,000+ regular and reserve personnel of our entire Armed Forces. |

Maybe you can make that argument for UCP but not ACU(which is the cut of the uniform I guess you could say). The collars go both ways, it always looks wrinkled, strings flop around. I hate wearing the damn thing. As for the commercial, it is better than what most of them have been. |
