Lowest Common Denominator

I have just recently noticed that the US Army has found a new slogan. Gone are the days of the G.I.Joe-ish 'Be All That You Can Be in the Army' and the slightly ambiguous 'Go Army' ... Now it appears to be Army Strong.

Um ... ?

Inappropriate use of "army" as an adjective. You can be "quite strong" or "very strong" or "Army strong". Which leads to a whole new array of phrases, really. Mess-hall food is "Army yummy"; really loud concerts can be "army loud" and of course a mobile telephone in the theatre is "army annoying". :D

I like where this is going.

Alas, there is no "army sexy".

This is probably a good thing...

Though I suppose you could use it as a pickup line. "Hey baby. You're looking army tonight. You can storm my garrison anytime."

You gotta be careful there, though. 'Cause you don't want postwar occupation.

(Seriously...I think I just wrote a standup routine. I'll stop now.)
