The average adult knows 30k words, but only 3k of which are unique (think of every word you know for a blanket) - and not a single human word is required to instruct, explain, agree, plan, or strategize. One can argue that our vocabulary makes us better at it, but none of those things are in any way skills only available to human beings. There's some uncertainty as to when we began to speak. By full modernity, but possibly as early as anatomic modernity - and the closer it was to the latter, the less amazingly useful speaking looks to be - as there was no significant difference between the living conditions of a human animal, and any other animal.
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!
