You ask that question like you've never read a book....? The inability of man to overcome their deficiencies is one of the oldest and most compelling narratives in all of human literature.
It's the fundamental narrative device of "sin", for fucks sake..... I have never understood how the themes of a book so incredibly important to people manage to completely escape them. Whatever else magic book is, it's a literary masterpiece...and pointing out some plot hole or problem of character development that could only -be- either thing if we were reading some third graders current news report is just beyond the pale, to me.
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!
