Oh christ...now we're on to the magical gift of consciousness and how evolution just couldn't have done it, eh? What, to you, would qualify as such a step? "Perception" of your exterior environment and reaction to it, perhaps? Self regulatory systems in complex organisms sans "mind"? The ability to store "information" and later retrieve it due to external (or internal) stimuli?
(also, how would this qualify as anything other than an argument from ignorance whether real or perceived?)

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!
