An apparent instruction that never amounts to a real one is, by definition, not a real instruction.Sigh, the instruction is real regardless of whether or not it's contents are accurate (you should be pretty familiar with this one....). Have you ever been given bad advice.....? Was the advice not real, or were the contents of that advice simply wrong? You're waffling back and forth between these two (entirely disparate issues) but it doesn't matter.. because neither path is going to yield a god plugged into your argument.
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!
