I'm wondering why anyone holds up marriage as we've engineered it as some sort of paragon of goodness in the first place. Maybe we smuggled in a bunch of fucked up shit into our notions of marriage to begin with, and it could use a little bit of dropping the unnecessary baggage. Just my two cents. You marry those you feel an abnormally strong familiarity with, and you stay married up until the point where that familiarity has vanished, or the point at which that familiarity becomes a vehicle for one or both parties to exploit destructively, then it's null and void. I don't see a problem with this.
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!
