Just one individuals vascular system contains 60k miles- and your nervous system buzzes in such as way that if it were the earth - it would humble our current efforts at electrification. We do aight, I think it's cool, but I would think that - being one of us. That doesn't mean I can't step back and appreciate our accomplishments for what they are. Baby steps, at a 3.6 billion year disadvantage. Our "creative efforts" have a hell of alot of catching up to do before they're even in the running for any wonder of the universe status - and that's just with what little we know about the cosmos today. The field might get wider tomorrow.
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 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!
