It better be good, like, better than that syfy miniseries, for sure.
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!

Bound to be better than that David Lynch abortion from the 80s, but that's a pretty low bar.

I read the first one with interest, but the rest are victims of their own success.

I need it to be good. Tibs can't make it through the book, so the only way I can get him to know what I'm talking about when I Dune out is for this movie to be palatable.

The fact that it's lengthy and fiction is a complete turn-off for him. There's not a single hacker.
