For me it seems on the same lines as denying Hitler or Kaltenbrunner because they're rather an embarrassment for Austrians. And all too many do just that by the way. They were German citizens when they pulled their atrocities, but they were still Austrians, brought up right here.
I'm not denying their American birth. I'm not saying they aren't American out of embarrassment for them, either. I'm simply saying that calling them American soldiers is misleading. They were not fighting for America. That is the sense I meant, and it's not a matter of trotting out the No True Scotsman.
They -were- fighting for "america"...simply not "your america"......and when -isn't- that true, precisely? Give me a date? Yesterday, today....tomorrow? Oh, I'm sorry, you mean they weren't fighting for the america that "freed the slaves", eh? Which america was that, and when did that happen?
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!
