Currently, our biology ( a product of our semi-unique evoltuionary pathway) doesn't allow for 900 year old human beings. Beyond a point we take damage faster than we are able to repair it (and it's such a reliable measure that we can give an estimate of average expected lifespan), assuming that some population once had such an advantageous trait you'd be hard pressed to explain where it went. The quick and dirty mythical answer would be that of a curse, but if we're invoking curses and magic then drop genetics because all deference to biology or evolutionary theory up to that point was pretense.
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!
