Yeah, I was reading some of the earlier comments about -why- some people took offense to what I see as southern cultural idioms...one of them being that a person didn't need to be reminded of their "mate-ability" or some such, by being called honey. I call my children honey (and sweetheart, and sugar, and pumpkin, etc etc etc) ya sick fucks. We're extending a term of endearment...because were...you know...nice people.......? It means the same thing as buddy, friend, family; that's the mechanical translation from rebel to yank. It's not always about your vagina, some of us aren't interested.
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!
