What, because their sperm met someone else's egg, and then that person produced a sperm or egg that met with another sperm or egg... process repeating itself until I'm born?
Sexing up your great great granny is unlikely to be the crowning achievement of their lives, in the same way, there are germans who -just as an example from my own experience, are proud of the home their ggfather built with his own two hands even if they aren't very proud of the swastika he carved into the rafters.
Its a strange way to wake up after a night of blackout drunk fun, staring up at a swaz and thinking -okay...should I crawl out from under these sheets..because it;s pretty damned cold this am and she's awfully pretty.
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!
