As a small aside (only somewhat related to the topic) the majority of casualties incurred during the Civil War (the deadliest war the US has ever engaged in-by body count of Americans) were caused by a technology you can replicate with a soda can, a paper bag, bleach, and nails. Maybe we should be regulating those things? Rifles, until the end of the war, weren't all that far from the rifles used by revolutionaries not too many decades prior (though the method of handling rounds was vastly improved - the modern concept of a "round" being vastly different from the loading of previous rifles but not so much different from the concept employed by both sides in this conflict during this time).
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!
