Again, that the eden narrative contributed to the notion of a woman's lessened worth....is another reason that it is an irrelevant narrative. As a sort of heaven on earth narrative it can give us an idea of what kind of life that the authoring society felt would by idyllic, but beyond that...what is there? It's been suggested that the point of the tale was to show that knowledge of ones actions leads to immorality in a way that ignorance cannot. I don't personally subscribe to that view. But it makes for a hell of a metaphor.
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!
