From the Army recruitment campaign, "An Army of One." (As pointed out in the cover story of the October 2003 Harper's magazine.) This is ludicrous. The Army's ad agency is positioning the Army as exactly the opposite of what it is--and has to be. When you enlist, you will be not be allowed to be alone, a 'rugged individualist,' or unique in any way. You will follow orders, within a large group of (perhaps diverse, but) like-minded people.
