What an absurd suggestion fobbed off as fact. The only manner in which this statement could even make -sense- is if you were suggesting that myths were akin to auto-writing, which I'm pretty sure you're not, and it wouldn't be a difference with regards to other types of fiction in any case. If you mean to say that the narratives presented in myth take form, to some extent, based upon the human subconscious.......then, again, that's not a difference with regards to any other subset of fiction (hell, even non-fiction in influenced by our subconscious, in the manner that we frame a story or, at a fundamental level, what we choose to tell stories about). If you mean to say that a myth is different than a NYT police procedural, well, no shit.....but they aren't different in -any- sense of their fictive natures, or that they both express and arise from the authors subconscious mind, or that the author consciously chose the details of one narrative but not the other.
Perhaps you could find some other way to express what you mean here?
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!
