Is George Army Strong?

Is George Army Strong?

While leafing through a women’s fitness (Body, Mind, and Spirit) magazine, I came across an Army recruitment ad that had the headline “Are you Army Strong?” Above the headline is a picture of young females in a line doing push-ups with a male standing over them, watching, I suppose.

After recovering from my disgust that a magazine which refuses cigarette and alcohol ads would help the military prey on its young female readers on two valuable pages of advertisements, I noticed that the ad contained the “Seven Core Army Values.” It struck me deeply that the Commander in Chief of the Army, and indeed all the US armed forces, would not be able to pass the “Army Strong Test.” Even though the military keeps upping the age for its recruits, at 61 George is too old. With the pathological way that he exercises, he may be able to pass the physical test, but, unfortunately for George, even though the military has been giving out a record number of “morality waivers,” there is no way that he would be able to adhere or conform to the Army Values (always glorified by capitals).

The first Army Value is “Loyalty:” Bear true faith to the U.S. Constitution, the Army, your unit, and other soldiers.
