What I meant by that, was that as long as we remove the rest of the shit those people had to deal with, and think only off riding horses, pillaging and whatnot, it's decent. Add in the rest and you're obviously much better off where and when you are now. We do that a lot though. Imagine some part of the near or distant past and lay that construct over the things we take for granted in the here and now. What if you weren't a warrior, or socially respected? Disease? Hardships? Of course even if you were well placed the price of playing this game was your life. Just to name a few.
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!
