(mind you, I don't think that any of this is a good reason to keep guns in our hands - merely pointing out that our military is ill-equipped/poorly structured for that sort of conflict, and that a provision for ownership of weapons is useful so long as the weapons owned by the public are useful, and of course you only need to successfully employ whatever weapon you have once and then you have -their- weapons...give me a deer rifle (or just a bad batch of beer...soldiers like to drink) and I can [potentially] bring home some mortars, maybe an AT, and a few grenades along /w assorted small arms, nvgs, canteens, CLS packs....not a bad haul.....and it doesn't take much imagination to come up with clever ways to use all those explosives top greater effect than your enemy ever would have.)
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!
