Default Army Strong

The Army's new slogan is Army Strong, I guess Army of One, wasn't working for them anymore.

Nice video, and I agree its better than the "Be All You Can Be" or "Army Of One" stuff......is it going to change people's perception of the military ro what we are currently doing? I don't think so.....I think the best recruiting tool we could possibly have would be a chain of command that has a friggin clue, and a media that isn't politically driven, and reports our action in an unbiased manner......until the public perception of the military and its mission change, I don't think any commerical will matter

Default Nice

I really like it. Some of the previous slogans and movies, sugar coated things too much. This one seemed more real world to me. I hope I see it on some of the networks and the cable channels. They did a nice job on it.

For the record, I wouldn't be pushing either one of my kids into the service. But if that was their choice, I would be proud.

I am very appreciative of anyone who serves our country. God bless all of you!

Guess you know where I stand now.

Well I recommend serving in the military to everyone.....you don't have to serve in combat arms, get a free education and the other benefits provided and serve your country in some capacity.

With a war going the military is going to have a hard time recruiting no matter how good their commercials. This is their best effort to date though. Thanks to all who have served and those that are serving now as it is a very selfless and noble thing to do.

I found some on Google Video LOL. So now you can all see what I am forced to watch.

They can't torture Iraqi's but they can make you watch that. There is no justice in the world.
