That we can express the sentiment that what is natural is not necessarily right is an example of out thinking our biology, isn't it? Unless you mean that in some other sense. Our agency, itself, can never be unmoored from it's evolutionary history, but..just because it evolved to that end (convenience sake, again) doesn't mean that we have to keep using it for the same. A great deal of our moral propositions are directly in contradiction to what would provide the individual (or group) with the survival advantages all-important in some near or distant past.
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!
