Well..yeah, that, but also this?
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!

My family and I went on vacation here one Summer and I liked it so much that I moved down here.

Oh, idk..
Actually, The Wife and I are talking about picking it all up and moving out to the pacific northwest, the main obstacle has always been how completely and hopelessly southern I am. We're only in kentucky because I wouldn't go any further. It's hard to discount a culture that engenders that sort of devotion and...I guess if I'm honest, fear? Like I could never be anything other than out of place if I left. All I ever have to do is open my mouth to prove that I'm "other"...anywhere else.

I like how hot it is here, and the people around here are friendly and chill.

That's the main reason I'm more open now to moving. I've noticed people in the south being distinctly less friendly and chill. Now I'm "other" here..too.....
Thanks, fuckers, for ruining literally everything.

Y'all also gave us the Rev Gary Davis and Piedmont blues, which is some great stuff.
Living in Texass, we have stuff that passes for culture. We gave the world plenty of great musicians, a couple of great writers, and the best BBQ in America (apologies to y'all and others). We also need a lot more museums and a drastically-improved educational system.
