Academically....it is very difficult to distinguish between what is conscious and what is not without adding a boatload of additional qualifiers that are all, themselves, open to scathing criticism. What most people seem to be referring to when they say "consciousness" is decidedly higher order architecture. To move or sense or remember or react does not appear to be enough for most (why....well, that is beyond me, but any qualifier for consciousness one chooses to invoke wont leave us at a loss as to how biology did, does, or could have "done it").

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!
