I enlisted under that tagline, but sure as hell not because of it. I always saw it as more confusing than anything. I'm glad to see it go, especially now that the Army has seen fit to send me into the recruiter ranks (with less than 2 years Time In Service) where I would have had to explain what "Army of One" means.
I like General MacArthur's quote. Maybe we can use " 'what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be'...an American Soldier."
