Army of One (recruiting slogan)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Army of One" is a former recruiting slogan that was used by the United States Army.[1] It replaced "Be All You Can Be", the Army's slogan for twenty years.[2][3] It was replaced in 2006 by the slogan "Army Strong". The reason for the replacement is believed to be that the slogan "Army of One" is contrary to the idea of teamwork. It was also very easy for political cartoonists to make fun of it by saying, I.E. "If you join, we can change the sign to Army of Two!"
