A number of you want to discuss the fact that the Marine Corps has decided to scrap their recruiting slogan “The few, the proud, the Marines”, the Washington Times<\/a> reports. <\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018The Few, The Proud,\u2019 does a great job distinguishing ourselves from the other branches and making us prestigious to recruits, but it doesn\u2019t say anything about what we do or why we exist,\u201d Lt. Col. John Caldwell, a spokesman for Marine Corps Recruiting Command, told the Marine Corps Times on Monday. \u201cThe new products are going to frame everything that we do as a fight \u2014 a fight that we intend to win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other popular slogans the branch of service have used over the past four decades include \u201cIf Everybody Could Get In The Marines, It Wouldn\u2019t Be The Marines,\u201d and \u201cWe\u2019re Looking for a Few Good Men,\u201d although the officer said the new campaign is not linked with efforts to incorporate women into combat jobs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t see the big deal. Change it, don’t change it. Just stop sending me emails.<\/p>\n

I do like the 82d Airborne Division’s new recruiting video, though;<\/p>\n
