What the bombs did for japanese command wasn't convince them to surrender, but convince them that they wouldn't be getting better terms by holding us lives as conceptual hostages in a mainland invasion. The choice, then, was between capitulation and eradication. To draw it back into I/P - that won't work here. You cannot force group A to capitulate by causing pain to group B. I mean...... maybe group B would do that if they could do that, but they can't. Group A likes to watch them die in the first place.
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!
