I think it causes some small degree of harm to the overall picture of America though. You are proudly a country of immigrants, you allow people (like myself) to come live here, and to become a citizen of the country, to pledge allegiance to it. Yet although naturalized citizens have the same rights as natural born citizens, and are treated the same in almost every other aspect of life, being able to run for President or Vice President of the country that they pledged allegiance to is forbidden.I knew it, yet another reconquistador. Come to bring us back to the fold have you? Careful...we're well armed and entirely unreasonable.

I don't think it's fair either. I don't think fair was what they were aiming at when they wrote than in, though.
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!
