About the end of the military ban on homosexuals serving...

I am the Infantry.
I am my country's strength in war, her deterent 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 over all.
If necessary,
I fight to my death.

By my steadfast courage, I have won 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!


Don't see anything there about who I sleep with on the weekends. But hey, did anyone tell John McCain that we're the Queen of Battle?

About damn time, and now the wingnuts are going to explode. I shall sit back and enjoy the show.

I thought the Queen of Battle was Artillery.

They're the King of Battle.

The Queen tells the King where to put the balls.

And you know what the King does to the Queen.

The Royal Artillery's motto is "Ubique" which means "everywhere". There'a Kipling poem by that name which sums up the business of delivering hurt at range, time on target and it's true today as it was a hundred years ago.
