I gave a slight nod to Europa and Titan, far out of the HZ. There's a reason we look for water by the way, it has to do with carbon dissolving into it, and carbon is one of the few elements that we are aware of that could support complex life. It's all about the number of possible bonds. This so called "molecular chauvinism" has been challenged by the possibilities of silicon based life, which would arise on a planet unlike any we consider to be "habitable". Very cold, devoid of oxygen and water, but with another compatible solvent, such as liquid methane or a methyl compound to exhibit polymer activity. In addition to carbon and silicon, it may be that life has somewhere arranged itself in a completely unfamiliar way.
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!
