Granted, many troubles with it stem from the question of globalism vs nationalism... and I'm not much of a globalist beyond seeing my strawberries year round.Did you actually look to see what TPP entailied......? Crucial portions of the TPP concerned collaborative and uniform workers rights and compensation between member states........

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.

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!
