Quote:We were questioned at length before our first was born (we didn't know the sex yet) but we weren't pressured either way.Yeah, they just kept handing me pieces of paper asking me whether or not I wanted my sons snipped - I think I signed about 20 all told between the two. By the last few times they asked the question (I was starting to wonder how often fuckups occurred) I felt like telling them that the next time someone asked me whether or not I wanted my sons cut I would cut the questioner -on the spot-. Thankfully my wife has a more gentle demeanor than I and so she just took over from there.
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!
