They very well could have said just that, but they didn't actually know that, and didn't even mount a particularly impressive guess. You'll often hear that these descriptions are accurate, but meant for people who didn't understand what we do now. The trouble is that you could have explained a nuclear reactor to a Babylonian, in all likelihood. Many times the words and concepts we use to this day in the most advanced branches of science have their origins in very distant antiquity. Gods have a habit of knowing only what their believers know, and being blissfully ignorant in precisely the same areas as their adherents.
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!
