Lions exist to keep the number of prey at a certain balance, and they do this by eating and reproducing. Humans have the luxury of being able to pursue personal goals, and have the capacity to empathize.

eh, what's that now?

Lions have the purpose of keeping prey animals under control?  Does this mean I have the purpose of flushing pooh into the ocean?  Who the heck is out there making me DO this?

Who?  Not who, fetters. Mans gotta poop. Wink
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!
