An organization created upon the birth of the USA over 230 years ago. It's mission is to defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies; foreign and domestic.
Contrary to popular belief, the modern Army no longer accepts convicts as an alternative to jail. All applicants must hold a high school diploma or a GED at minimum. (98% are HS grads) A College degree is a requisite to becoming an officer, though many enlisted soldiers also hold them.
During an average recruiter's day, 75% of interviewed applicants are rejected.
For over two decades, the US Army has been an all-volunteer one, which means only those who have the desire to serve will do so-- thereby greatly increasing morale and unit survivability through better teamwork.
It is a sad fact that US Army soldiers have been the target of protesters both at home and abroad, most notably being the recent incident of a uniformed soldier being beaten at gunpoint by multiple assailants in the famously liberal city of Seattle, WA. Recruiters have also been targets for demonstrations and violence. Some people are seemingly unaware that the soldiers are just fellow Americans who are sworn to carry out their duty. These protests are misdirected at them.
The US Army today represents the finest our country has to offer. We must remember to show respect for its members; past and present.

The US Army is the reason you have your freedom. The constitution is just a piece of paper without the Army to safeguard it.

More or less the opposite of "Like my Status".
Relevant to Facebook, when people on your friends list read your status updates but do not offer feedback in the form of Likes or Comments.
It could mean one or more of the following:
1) Your friends are apathetic about you and your little life.
2) You have made an ass of yourself and your friends are trying to spare you any humiliation.
3) You've indicated an interest in something (like furry porn or MLP) and people are suddenly embarrassed to know you.
4) One of your friends is stalking you (usually only happens to females) and is too timid to say anything.
5) The people you associate with maintain a Facebook presence, but are too lazy (or think they're too cool) to actively participate.
