Its an interesting question, how much is self written and how much is written in.
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!

What fascinates me is the mind/paradigm they experience the world through. The flavor of their qualia.

I suppose you are now going to explain this "qualia" to us and how much it affirms your "qualia"?

That probably exceeds the author or what the example of the piraha is given to indicate.  Though it is, itself, an interesting question as well, the flavor of anyones qualia, whatever it is we're talking about when we say that.

No and no.

I'm sure the book conveys something of their subjective experience/interpretation of the world. I can never actually know but I'm sure I could gain an impression of it.
