The New Army
Lt. Col. Scott Shuman…..John Belushi
[ open on The Army’s “We Want You” poster, with Captain Kirk’s head in place of Uncle Sam’s ]
[ pan down to Lt. Col. Scott Shuman with headphones on, playing air guitar in his chair ]
Lt. Col. Scott Shuman: Hi! I’m Lt. Col. Scott Shuman! Hi! Oh. [ he removes his headphones ] Oh, I’m sorry. Hi. I’m Lt. Col. Scott Shuman, with a word about today’s New Army. You know, today’s Army sure has gone through a lot of changes from when your old man was into it.
[ he notices a bag of marijuana on his desk, and promptly scrapes it away ]
Oh… I’m sorry.
[ he takes a final drag on a joint on his desk, then pushes it to the floor and continues ]
‘Cause now — now — it’s an all volunteer Army. I mean… you don’t have to be there, if you don’t want to. I mean, if you don’t want to… that’s cool. Uh, you have your own life to lead… you have stuff to do. But so do we. [ suggestively ] The BEST stuff an Army helicopter can carry in from all over the world!
And you know —
[ he jerks around, paranoid that someone is behind him ]
Uh — and you know, the New Army is the armed forces’ real high. If you get into things like air defense artillery, you get a personal set of heat-seeking laser weapons… plus, like, a whole bunch of missiles… radar trackers… anti-aircraft systems — all on WHEELS, maaaan! You can even be a paratrooper! And that’s the most fun you can have with your pants on. Believe me, I know, man!
So… [ he picks up his headphones and places them over his ears ] join today’s Army. Because… every burst of gunfire has all the colors in the rainbow.
[ he leans back in his chair, falling backward ]
Announcer: [ over SUPER: ] “The New Army. A Joint Venture That WAnts To Join You.”

I enjoyed reading this. It’s clear and well-written.
