You know, you might have to ask yourself whether or not your system of inference..the one you're using to make determinations about the inferences of others, is based upon innate mental instincts or acculturation as well. There are and have been other systems of inference, in the world...apart from the western system...and the western system itself has been evolving over time. When you ask that question above, whether or not (and to what extent) culture affects it..by reference to medieval scholastics... who conceived of their body of knowledge as nothing -other- than an expression of and demonstration of their particular conception of god.....you might be onto something.
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!
