(Army.mil) — Two hundred and thirty-six years ago, the United States Army was established to defend our Nation. From the Revolutionary War to the current operations taking place around the world, our Soldiers remain Army Strong with a deep commitment to our core values and beliefs. This 236th birthday commemorates America’s Army – Soldiers, Families and Civilians – who are achieving a level of excellence that is truly Army Strong. Being Army Strong goes beyond physical endurance and mental preparedness. It encompasses an indomitable spirit, and high ethical and moral values. These are not only desirable traits in a person, but in a Nation that wishes to live up to the ideals and vision of its founders. We are “America’s Army: The Strength of the Nation.”

I give thanks for this great Nation and the the U.S. Army for everything I have and ever will accomplish. The Army finished raising me to be a man, provided me an opportunity to serve and get an education. I have been blessed beyond my imagination.

— Two hundred and thirty-six years ago, the United States Army was established to defend our nation

But who protects the Army from the Government as it is forcing perverts on it??

If news reports are correct, pretty soon the Army will go marching along in camouflage uniforms designed by the Marine Corps.

And you’d have that 180 degrees ass-backward.
It was the US Army that designed those uniforms for the Marines. But, facts don’t seem to matter much nowadays ...

Happy Birthday to My Army, America’s SENIOR service, behind whom ALL other services march.

From the Marines responsible for MARPAT:
http://www.militarymorons.com/misc/camo.html

“It has even been recently discovered that the US Army was actually the first to work with digital camo patterns in the 1970s. So while the Canadians have been trying to argue the “Chicken or the Egg” issue...it appears that the US Army is the “rooster”.

So,
Just say “Happy Birthday”, “Thank You” and try to back out quietly, if not gracefully.

Then why did the Army choose a different pattern?
And why does the Army want to change now?

At least the other services are wise enough not to follow the Army as it marches off a pier into deep water.
