Amid the Army’s historic ongoing recruiting crisis, the Army Enterprise Marketing Office has decided to reboot its former “Be all you can be” slogan in a look reminiscent of the 80s. The famous slogan first appeared during the 1981 New Year’s College Football bowl games. The slogan is set to launch in March of this year and is being praised as a step in the right direction to better meet recruitment numbers.
Maj. Gen. Alex Fink, the Army Reserve Officer in charge of the Army Enterprise Marketing Office, told Stars & Stripes, “[The Army is] not returning to ‘Be all you can be’ for nostalgia or old times’ sake or because we think retro is trendy and cool. We’re really reinventing it to reposition the Army and to inspire the next generation of soldiers.”
While boosting recruitment numbers was the stated purpose of the reboot, the reboot will surely bring about a feeling of nostalgia from decades prior. According to the Army Historical Foundation, “Trade magazine ‘Advertising Age’ rated the slogan the 18th best of its ‘top one hundred campaigns of the 20th Century.'”
The General told Army Times in August that prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Army had already initiated a revamp of its marketing for recruitment purposes.
According to Fink, “You couldn’t just start from ground zero and say, ‘Hey, let’s just do a brand refresh on the Army,’ with no route, no real repetitions under your belt,”…We have those repetitions now. And I think we’re in a really good place, and I think it’s the right time.”
Army Ping
The memory of the military’s worship of the clot shot will not go away.
I would have thought they would go with “Here’s your chance to kill White Supremicist Christain Fascist Homophobes!”
“Be as woke as Uncle Sam desires you to be”.
Oh my! The memes are going to be great. I can see them now with before and after pictures of a nice looking young man as the “before”, and an “after” picture of the nuclear “dudette” Brinkman with his stolen suitcases. “Be all you can be, as we turn you from a man into a women in just six short weeks of Army high-heeled boot camp!”
Raise you hand if you think we still need 47,000 troops in Germany.
It’s all about feeding the military-industrial money-machine.
I thought their new slogan was “Be any gender you want”.
and the trannys line up...
Lipstick on a pig…
Stupid DC clones think - just change the propaganda slogan, and all will be well!
it used to be the case that if everything else failed you could send you kid off to the military for them to turn him into a man.
But now... if he isn’t raped he will be turned into a trans woman!
What someone needs to do is photoshop him in a blonde wig, make up, and 3 or 4 syringes sticking out of his arm.
Thought this might be the Bee...
They need to get the women and the perverts out of there, and, then watch recruitment tick up.
Now it means, and if you’re a boy who wants to be a girl, or vice versa, the US Armed Forces is the place for you.
Not gonna help.
Sadly, you are so right.
That would be more appropriate.
So the military:
1. Retreated from the battlefield like cowards in Afghanistan
2. Is commanded by a senile retard
3. Embraces trans degeneracy
4. Lowers physical standards to add women
5. Insists on you going to jail if you cheat
6. Insists on you paying 50% when you get cheated on
7. Can’t wait to send you to fight Ivan and Vlad
8. Still expects you to owe all the same sacrifices
Hmm… think I’d rather go eat Doritos, play XBox and bang college sluts if I’m a young man. Let Biden go enlist some “boss babes” and some “They/Thems” to go fight for him.
