It's not a satisfying way to weave a narrative though is it? The story has much more in the way of compelling drama if we interpret it along the lines of familiar human drives and values. I suppose that makes it a double edged sword. To get more people interested you have to spin a tale of triumph and struggle, but to better understand the actuality of it these things must be removed completely. Sucks. This is one of my two pet issues that I always harp on about, in the end, there's nothing wrong with weaving the narrative btw, so long as we understand that we are adding the narrative elements for impact, you know?
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!
