This part always tickled me..because, translation/linguistic issues aside - it implies that in the author/translators world stoning was so commonplace that it could be removed from the object to which it was referent and used as a verb in it's own right. Otherwise there's no need for specificity, unless you could "stone" someone with dead (or perhaps, to make make it more lethal, live) cats just as easily, one would not need to say "stone them with stones". Makes you wonder how creative people had gotten with stoning, that such an explicit set of instructions were included.
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.

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!
