You have it wrong.
Just to be clear, it doesn't matter what you call it, though it's going to be easier for you to find source material knowing what to google. It's the idea that I think you'll have trouble carrying to the finish line, not the name.
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!

I play Devil's advocate, but for some reason, the arguments are seeming to be strong.

Only in magic AU you live in MK . Like all your other arguments.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.

I think a bear takes what it wants from a human female. Of all the ways we might describe the bears participation...non-consensual probably doesn't apply. 
OFC, in the story, it doesn't work out that way.

here's something you can write

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

An atheist walks into a tribe of muslims. He is condemned to death by apostasy, but the dude in charge thought allah should be merciful, so he gave him a chance:
Behold those three tents, One has 50 bottles of wine, the second has a lion, the third a beautiful naked woman. To save your life, you must drink all the wine, take a tooth of the lion and then make love with the beautifull woman. He, of course,, accepted.
After a while in the first hut, he takes the second, huge fight is heard in there, when he cames out all filled with wounds, says:
"Now, all I have to do is knock a tooth out of the whore."
