When I was young and impressionable....I had occasion to visit a huge on paradise island. I can't tell you why, I don't remember why (probably drugs)...if I did I wouldn't tell you for fear of liability (probably drugs). What stuck with me, in that brief encounter, maybe a quarter of an hour in their case and a quarter century ago.....was that this, I reckoned then and now, is what I want my daughters' lives to be like. This excess. This opulence. This -obliviousness-.
Anyone else ever had a moment like that. Where you see what someone else is up to, not but a few miles from you, and you think to yourself...wtf, how did I not know this was happening. This should happen everywhere, all the time! A moment where you found yourself entirely out of your socioeconomic depth, and wondering about the possibilities....?

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!
