The english of today isn't even the same across state lines.... just in the US. I guarantee that me and my boy can have an entire conversation that would be unintelligible to anyone who doesn't speak type two shift. A dialect not widely spoken until after WW2. Mull that over. Communicating with the grey and wizened southern set is just as difficult for me as communicating with me can be for someone from boston.
We use a separate dialect than our own (still living) grandparents.

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!
