It’s 2 am—Do You Know What Your Warriors Are?

We all recognize military recruiting slogans like ‘Be All That You Can Be’ or ‘Fight A Dragon with a Sword,’ but the Army has decided that it wants yet another tagline. This time, it’s ‘What’s Your Warrior?’ which makes very little sense. We too ask ourselves this question on a regular basis.

One thing you might also not know: the military is spending $4 billion, yes, billion, on a single ad agency in Chicago for its long-term promotion contract. What else could we do with $4 billion, if not pay for all the things that your Facebook uncle says ‘bbut how will you pay for this’ about?
