<font color=8fbc8f>Well folks, here it is! The first stolen and blogged release of the new Multi-Billion Dollar "Army Strong" campaign video.

It has overwhelmed and smoothered all of the pre-release soldier comments, and has actually improved slogan rating by 42%. A lot of folks (soldiers) openly hammered this slogan excessively hard, as in "absolutely gawd awful". Somebody here actually wrote the same thing that was on the pre-release forum, "Army Strong-Enemy Weak".

A word of warning: This site is real, and contains real blogs from real soldiers, real adds from real small business'. If you are weak or faint of roughness you can still watch the video without being flushed, but don't read or click on anything else.</font>

Now I understand Army Strong. I agree... they found a good message. I guess they decided to cut it down from "Not just strong. Army strong."

Sometimes real life feels just like Sid Meier's Civilization. A sufficently large luxury rate can keep a nation of any size content. And I must admit that the video is captivating. And the soundtrack will ring in your head until the end of time, when the seas boil and the Kraken rises from the abyssal depths.

Interesting.
