We -can- own rocket launchers and tanks Tristo..... it's just that the latter is horrendously expensive. Quite frankly, I am appalled at the lack of tank and rocket launcher based violence in this country, especially relative to handguns. I think it's high time that the criminally inclined at least attempt to up their game. As of right now they just seem lazy and inept.
(there's plenty of tape to cut through if you want to own either, legally, and regulations regarding whether or not you have to make the working bits inop. If I ever find myself in the position of being horrendously wealthy I do want to own a Bradley -not technically a tank- but it has a place in my heart.)
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!
