I like to crack jokes about the south being a prison, with the oppressive heat there as a reminder of this unfortunate reality. Shame really, since people ventured out into it to find more freedom in the first place. To better their lives and the lives of their families. It's not like there isn't a shitload of resources here. It's just that it all flows elsewhere (after being processed by cheap labor..upon which entire industries depend (again, been this way for awhile).
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!
