To help Thor and Odin battle Jotun.......winter was Jotun (and it comes at night, as a shadow). Jotun, to a man, have a geographical connection. "Jotun" appears to have been raiders, and the raiders appear to have given them shit in the winter (which I suppose makes sense, can't be bothered when you're busy growing crops - winter is downtime..and the Jotun gods all have agricultural counterparts of dubiously similar entymology in the pantheons of those neighboring civs). Skaði appears to have been scandinavian, Loki pan-celt. Other interpretations abound, of course.
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!
