You know what really peturbs me, now that I think about it (what with pointing to IE) - is that perhaps unknowingly Enrico here has offered an example of how a language (and the narratives and stories often used to teach said language) can spread so comprehensively and so quickly -even in advance of the main body of the culture, and particularly in the absence of any significant and singular -event- like an invasion..or some christ being born - and still become absolutely dominant (at least linguistically) over a huge landmass. Not only does this example bode poorly for christ's jaunt along the country roads...but the entirety of the jesus narrative.
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!
