We have a tendency to confuse mans teleology with some cosmic teleology, as the bananaman did when opining on the cavendish. We see order all around us, but the origin of that order is lost to us as a consequence of time and unfamiliarity. We see the current social order, and decide that this is the natural order. We see the current state of some forest, and confuse it for a primordial arrangement. It's an honest but profound mistake.
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.
