You're right, you shouldn't expect it. I don't recognize that it was somehow conferred to us, or that some facet of our biology dictates its assumption to us. The only way to figure out if someone feels any responsibility is to ask whether or not they assumed it upon themselves.
I guess I can't give you shit on this one (because I haven't really pumped it in awhile)...but.....I used to be a research assistant for the Florida West Coast Resource Conservation and Development Council.....mostly pulling weeds and eating tomatoes - digging holes and filling them in...that sort of thing, and I'm trying to get a little sustainable research site funded up here in Kentucky now. So.........guess that one backfired.
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!
