You're imposing your vision of bravery, success, and betterment here as well, by fiat. I grew up around people who don't see mlk or ghandi as heroic figures, who don't see any societal change born out of their advocacy as a net good or gain. We've done nothing -other- than react to and exclude such people in "pursuing our goals"...not that this bothers me, ofc, fuck em.....but putting a positive spin on it doesn't change what we've done and what we'll continue to do. We preach inclusion to the choir from an exclusionary framework. The hypocrisy isn't lost on them, they're bitching about it as we speak. Trump 2016 anyone?
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!
