Cars were more accessible, from the point of view of government. Specifically in that it didn't have to buy them. It's one of those self reinforcing kind of problems. We need to get around. We couldn't afford to get around. We all individual hauled our asses around. An entire infrastructure was formed around it, siphoning off trillions upon trillions over the decades. Now that infrastructure threatens to undo us.....but......we still need to get around, even moreso than before.
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!
