I always got a chuckle out of the "An Army of One" slogan anyways. Nothing like suggesting individualism in an organization that's all about breaking down individuals and turning them into the very definition of conformity.

I guess they figured 4 words was too long for the demographic they were trying to attract.

He said the old way was to "talk loud, talk often, get their attention" -- shock treatment to teach discipline and mold the newly recruited civilian into a soldier.

But trainers found today's generation responded better to instructors who took "a more counseling" type role, Jones said, using strong tactics when needed but keeping them the exception instead of the rule.
Army Strong, indeed!
