Bit of whitewashing there, in that any pretense of creating a peaceful system of rebellion by violently rebelling is absurd. They asserted their natural right to violently throw off tyranny, but sought to close the door to future claims.... just like every other regime...ever. The nod to militias...not at all an example of the wise and noble intent of our founding fathers. They were up to their eyelids in debt, and that specific mention to militia and guns, one of a kind in the constitution (both as a fighting force -and- the new voting force) was nothing short of softening the blow of their failure to pay. It was the powder alarm that created those militias and..arguably, the american resistance in the first place. Perhaps they thought that instituting new taxes -and- their own version of the powder alarm would be a bad idea, so early, what with having just fought a war..ostensibly, over those things. They opted for the money (as always).
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!
