D'oh!! "The Army of One" meaning is finally clear...

Our army seems to follow *'s whims, so ...

He must be the "One". I get it now. I was always a bit confused by that slogan. Certainly, they couldn't have meant that everyone was going to be a solo commando or anything like that. Also, the connection betwen video games and being in the Army is becoming more clear. Maybe, * has a beta version of the new XBox game "Clearing Brush" to go with his version of "The Army of One". This must be where he hides when he is on vacation 40% of the time.

1. Someone here posted that that is a running joke in the Army now

basically ragging on the young go getters that join.

"Hey Army of One why don't you go over there and pick that up all by yourself"-type stuff.

4. Makes sense. Without that, it still gets my vote for "stupidest

recruitment slogan ever" though.
