Quote:I am not satisfied with 'normal' reality. I never have been and I have gone through various phases in an attempt to discover the truth.Just because you are unsatisfied, does not mean that what you call "normal reality" is not the truth. Truth and satisfaction aren't equivalent. This should, however, give you cause to leverage extreme skepticism (before anyone else leverages it) about any further investigation you make into "alternative reality?"- you've essentially accepted that you have a powerful desire for things to be other than what they are...............

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!
