In that context, as it turns out, the infantry just wasnt the best fit for me...because it breeds and reinforces the very things that ultimately manifested themselves as a disorder. We're -trained- to think we're better than everyone else. That we're different..hell..that we can't die. No one who honestly considers that can rush a pillbox. It demands that we assume the mask as who we are...rewards us for it...and punishes us for any lapse in that character. I want to write a book about it...but I just don;t know if what I have to say is worthwhile or could -fill- a book. I;ve wanted to do so since reading "The Things They Carried" - particularly the chapter "How to Tell a True War Story" -which you can find online for free..if you're a reader.
"It was a -love- story, you silly cooze"
To the above...you might need to reread the comments. We're advocating for the same thing. It was bullshit, not to be myself, but that's what NPD is about, the projection and maintenance of a false self, and how that negatively impacts your life and the lives of those around you.

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!
