Quote:How about similar myths that were developed separately from this tradition, such as Buddha and Krishna?I think that you might be surprised at just how "non-independently" these three traditions (including christianity for good measure) developed. Take a look at a map, and then remind yourself that people have legs, in case you've forgotten. This isn't to say that no tradition develops independently, or that there aren't traditions which are independent of another, but if I were going to point those out, these three wouldn't be my go-to's.
Something like, Judaism..Shinto...and Taiowaism (Hopi), maybe.
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!
