To be fair, that particular narrative is rife with inconsistency and inaccuracy. There is no coherent -whole- to which one can refer. It seems, rather, to be an amalgam of separate narratives that coalesced into one at some point before they were committed to the page. IMO, those loosely related narratives which played on successful tropes. A person who wants to work out what the story was about -or- maintain that it's a news report is going to have to drop something or other from it to make either work.
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!
