Really? "Be All You Can Be" was the most recognized advertising slogan being used according to ad executives across the board.

The Marines could use catchy slogans like "We stop more bullets before 9am........"

The Army thinks the brain should do more than hold the head together. ;)

It might have been, but not even that ad campaign, though much better than the last, in no way compared with the imagery of the Marine ads of the last 15 years or so. Just a matter of personal opinion.

tonycavanaugh has perhaps the better point when he says that catchy ads weren't the reason he went in. I'm not even certain they advertised when I enlisted.

But, then they didn't have to...just increase the next draft levy.

Shinseki's folly. Could that fetching beret be next? How about coed boot camp? You people are indeed slow but eventually you do get the message.

The Marines have cool commercials.

The Army of One was the dumbest slogan in recent memory. The video game sounds dumb too. You probably graduate basic training by pressing two buttons and then you are a tank commander. So then you join the army and end up operating a ROWPU unit.

Play stirring music while showing scene from famous battles from 1776 onto now. A voice over says - "The United States Army. We have been kickin' arse and takin' names for over two hundred years. No one has ever defeated us on the field of battle. We have rescued Europe twice in one century, ensuring the freedom of millions of people. We have liberated countries and death camps. Our citizen soldiers World War II took on two powerful professional armies and defeated them. The Communists of North Viet Nam had to rely on weakening the America will at home but could never defeat us in the field. We kicked Saddams arse out of Kuwait. We wiped out the Taliban in Afghanistan, ensuring the freedom of millions. We liberated Iraq in three weeks, rescuing millions of people from an insane dictator. Do you have what it takes to be a member of the worlds most prolific winning team? Contact your local recruiter and find out."

Do you think recruitment would rise?
