Meh, I don't think that peer pressure or social stigma would have compelled me to believe (because there was plenty of both where I was raised). Maybe laws would be the tipping point, but again laws don't really seem to be capable of forcing my comformity either. Dear old mom and dad indoctrinating me...yeah, that would probably work, at least for a time. If the religious status of my parents and surroundings were the only variable then it would be safe to assume that I would "fall away from the faith" fantastically at some point. If we're assuming that a huge range of what makes me "me" was different...then we've ceased wondering about what I would do (or believe, or what have you), instead deferring to what some other motherfucker who resembled me might do..in which case, it's the big "no clue mate, you'd have to ask him".
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!
