If we are creating it then we'd have to add provisions to the whole "objective" bit wouldn't we? Not that I would mind that, or disagree with it, just as an exercise in intellectual rigor. It would be pleasant if we could all find a useful and well reasoned set of moral concepts to agree on, hell, even just a few. But they would never be universal or objective in the way that Mystic is using the term. I personally use the term "discovery" as a concilliatory gesture to those who believe that such a thing as eternal morality floats around making things right or wrong and has it's own existence without reference to human beings might possibly exist....but I'd like to see them demonstrate that..lol.
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!
