Exactly, these things are obviously important to us. Perhaps they deserve a little more consideration than profit and profit alone. When discussing things like coal or oil, we're talking about verifiable national treasures (or if you don't like the idea of nations, verifiable treasures of humanity). They should be treated as such. Instead, especially here in the US, we're leveraging national treasures to produce junk food and disposable trinkets, largely. This has a measurable effect on our environment, and (to me at least) the entire enterprise seems idiotic and absurd.
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!
