Yeah, it's geekery, but it is also some amazing conceptual art.

I don't have a ton of experience with free-building using Legos, but am working on a long-term lesson plan for using them in a Latin class and so have become more aware of how open the framework is with these things.

That's actually pretty cool. Probably took a lot of geeks a lot of time though.

Legos...rock....hard.
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!

That looked time consuming.

But time consuming.

One of my nephews is a rabid Lego fiend, and my brother-in-law, an engineer with NOAO, is still a huge fan.
