Like Buddhism. Which isn't exactly a religion, but..
It is a religion, exactly, and even though the buddhists like to say they have inner peace without all the other shit (particularly those who have repackaged, rebranded and exported buddhism for a western audience, in order to gain western influence).. the truth of the matter is that buddhists get up to the other shit just as often as anyone else, their pious professions of inner peace being betrayed by their actions as a faith group- again, just like the rest.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
