Fred, plenty of what a guy like me would call "junk science" goes on all the time. It's unproductive. Meanwhile, the type of science you seem to think is so narrow, produces results. From little gadgets to life saving medicine. So, just how much of the time we could spend on life saving medicine, do you think we should spend searching for "insert any unsubstantiated thing here"? That's the calculus right there. We go with what works, because otherwise we're wasting time and money. Hell, most of the time what works doesn't even lead anywhere (and I do share your disappointment with that, but it's the nature of the beast isn't it).
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!
