The French Army has proven to be one of the most superior armies of the past. The key leaders of great French militaries are Charlesmagne, Louis XIV, and Napoleon.
Also, during its war of independence, the french were fighting a civil war AND invasions from England, Germany, Spain, Italy and from the Dutch. that is five incoming armies.
Many times people claim that the french army is poor because they lost in WW2. which neighboring country didn't lose to the Germans? the only reason that the English survived was becuase of the water.
Not to mention that the Americans would have never won their war of independence without the help of Lafayette and the French navy.
Stupid French Army jokes are based upon no real historical facts. One with a basic notion of history will tell you that the French have had one of the most succesful militaries in history
One of the most succesful and powerful conquerors was Napoleon leading the French Army, which struck fear into all of their oppenents hearts.

Though this might surprise you Army Football is one of the most storied franchises in college football. During the 1940's turnouts at Notre Dame / Army football games in New York city were over 100,000 at the old polo grounds. They are the owners of a number of undefeated seasons and two national championships. They have produced three Heisman trophy winners. Vince Lombardi was an assistant coach at Army. Army's current coach is Bobby Ross, who took the San Diego Chargers to the Super Bowl. Notre Dame's Rockne Gymnasium has the Army Academy crest inscribed on the side as a sign of their respect for their war time service.
Army's traditional rival is Navy, whose nationally televised game is normally shown on whatever weekend the more popular teams don't happen to be playing (typically early Dec). Its a decent draw, normally played in Giants Stadium, JFK in philadelphia, or one year head scratchingly in the Rose Bowl
Modern recruiting and the requirement of a service obligation after graduation has now unfortunately reduced Army Football to a laughingstock of the CFL. (Which some recent bright spots... close losses to Alabama and Auburn in bowl games) At one point they set a record of losses in college football by going 0-13.
Have to give some credit to Army Football guys though cause they have to attend class, have to take their own tests, and have to do all the crummy stuff the other academy guys do.
I don't know how in the heck Navy football pulls off these good teams lately and good for them! But Navy seems to get the media breaks. They get Top Gun, Army gets Blackhawk down. They get Navy Seals and Army gets an ESPN movie about the Army Football cheating scandal!
Contrary to what you might have seen on MASH, nobody in the real Navy or Army give a crap about the Army / Navy game unless they are former players. Days off are given for the Super Bowl in the Army, not the Army/Navy game... what does that tell you.
Army Football sure has stunk for a long time but lets face it, they should be in the Patriot league Division 1AA.

Props to Texas A&M, Notre Dame, The Citadel, Norwich, Air Force, and VMI for their fine record of military service in our nation's wars

Awsome tactical FPS made by the U.S. Army.
Easily the best free game available today, America's Army is based on realism. Despite cries of, "propaganda, propaganda!" (see stupidly long definition at he bottom of the page). Most AA players are in it for fun.... and this it delivers effectively.
It is easy to die in AA, ususally 3 or fewer hits is enough to end your game, and once you're dead, you dont come back until the next round. This forces players to play with their brain and work as a team, much like the real army must do to stay alive in the field.
Weapons are modelled realisticly in looks, sound, and the way they behave. The gunshots are actually recorded from the shooting range, and the reloading animations are accurate to a T.
The most interesting feature of America's Army is the way the teams are set up; there is no "terroists versus U.S.". Instead both teams see themselves and their teammates as US soldiers with US weapons. And will see the enemy as Terrorists with Russian made firearms. The oppsing team will see the exact opposite.
America's Army's graphics are nothing special, but there are no major complaints, as long as you have decent graphics hardware.
"You guys up for Some Amerca's Army tonight?"
"HUA! I just finished downloading America's Army"

Mostly a French expression "armée mexicaine" in reference to the Mexican Revolution, where the Revolutionary Army, including many of its generals, was seen from the outside as composed mainly of peasants with no military training.
The phrase underlies the inability to lead with several inconsistent contractors, and especially an organization where everyone holds an honorary position.
That company operates as the mexican army!

There is a right way, a wrong way, and the "army way" which yields the same results as the wrong way, but takes much much longer.
We're supposed to get a better rifle next year, but they're doing it the army way, so we'll have to wait four years to get a shittier one.

a new fan of the kpop group BTS, usually under the age of 15. very annoying, whiney and cringey. the type of person to comment things like “ARMYYY” all over youtube comments. older, sane bts fans hate them.
EXAMPLE 1:
person with a jungkook profile picture, commenting on a random youtube video: I love this youtube video about makeup! :)
noob army: Omg! ARMYYYY! BTS army is everywhere!!! WHAT IS UR FAV BTS SONG? SARANGAHEY!
EXAMPLE 2:
person: i don’t really like BTS
noob army: YOU SHOULD LOVE YOURSELF. BTS IS BETTER THAN THE BEATLES AND YOU SHOULD STOP BEING A HATER AND AN ANTI! SUGA IS SO GONNA MAKE A DISS TRACK ABOUT YOU!!
