It;s hard to imagine that there's anyone who hasn't felt the effect of dissonance at least once in their lives. We'd be talking about a person who was either never wrong, or never realized they were wrong, about anything...or a person who, when told something contradictory to their previous position, abandoned everything they thought true the moment before immediately and on a whim..or just forgot they'd ever heard it.
That moment, for example...when you realized that "life wasn't fair" for the first time...as you exited childhood. That feeling you got when the man/woman you just -knew- loved you and was going to be faithful forever smelled like sex when you hadn't had any in a week...... etc etc etc.

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!
