IKR? To be fair..sometimes it probably would. My kids love to watch shitty things happen to the coyote. CS Lewis, ever the clever indocrtinator, ritually kills aslan as an intentional analog to christ. Regardless of whether you take that for it's intended theme or consider it a representative of secular fantasy, it's a kids book.
I suppose the point here is that kids are cruel, violent sub-human works in progress who would squeal in delight if you blew up a cartoon puppy, and I bet more than a few would love to watch barney get lynched. It doesn't get much better for our species with age, either.
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!
