"Our job is to market the Army [to the public]," Mark Davis, deputy assistant secretary of the Army for marketing and the director of the Army Marketing and Research Group, said in a Wednesday interview. " 'Army Strong' just didn't resonate with them. You'd either get an 'eh' sort of response, or you'd get an, 'Of course you're strong. You're supposed to be. You're in the Army. …'

What do you think?

They should never have gotten away from 'Be All You Can Be.' I always thought those commercials resonated when I was a kid. The Navy's back then was, 'It's Not Just A Job; It's An Adventure.'

The worst was 'I Am An Army of One'. Never saw the value-added of that slogan.

Anyone in Marketing can tell you that a campaign must last for a while. 6 months won't do it. Keep "Army Strong" for at least 2 years and be active in marketing on television, magazines and newspapers. The more times the slogan is seen the more effective the campaign becomes.

Army deploys and remains resilient while we figure out a good COIN doctrine.

Sad to say but it would sound like...we were Army Strong, but our Commander in Chief, prefers to Bow to the emeny.

Oh, my favorite soapbox. Don't get me started on HIM. Ovomit is our worst President ever. And, admits to being a Muslim! He has committed treason so many times. He should be tried by a military tribunal and shot be a firing squad.
