That's exactly what it's supposed to sound like, and that's why nuts forced it down americas throat in 1954.
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!

As a young kid, I spent almost no time thinking about what the words meant in the Pledge. I had to learn it, memorize it, and say it. Done and done and done. At no point was I told I had to understand it, adhere to it, or give a fuck about it. Just stand up at the start of the school day and say it.

I think it was more for other people than for us. I hear it looked sketchy from the outside.

Same here. After we returned from Iran, I stopped saying it. No big deal.

Now I'm hearing Pink Floyd.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
