It may not generate microsoft word, but why would we expect it to? It does, however, execute a set of functions merely in being "turned on" (even when a pc is doing abslutely nothing it's actually, more accurately, executing a mind boggling-ly vast number of NOT or null "functions". Sure they're not useful to us, but who cares? In what way are purpose, personal freedom, and moral values dependent upon your ghost in the machine?
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!
