Not your personal army.

I've seen this on /b/ a few times; a user would ask anonymous to conduct a raid, harass, etc, and /b/ would reply with the phrase,"Not your personal army."
Is this just a phrase used on 4chan, or could it be considered to be memetic?

The phrase is used primarily on 4chan AND is a meme.

Here are some places it has been found:
Urban Dictionary http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=not%20your%20personal%20army
ED http://encyclopediadramatica.com/X_is_not_your_personal_army

ebaumsworld http://www.ebaumsworld.com/groups/view/79152

It's used plenty of other places, but usually stemming from 4chan.

Its a meme, had my doubts at first, looked it up, and here are derivatives of it.

Also I think this would be a sub-meme under lolspeak.

This meme is actually part of my to-do list and I plan to make it after my classes are done and over with as well as the rest of the articles not made yet in that thread (unless some people beat me first, of course). I haven't started researching this specific meme yet though so I know about only as much as what Chris posted earlier as opposed to having a definite origin of the phrase and whatnot.
