	The Infantryman
		The infantryman differs from the tanks, guns and planes of the other fighting arms in one key respect which ensured he would never be usurped from the World War Two battlefield, and probably never will be.
		Perhaps the greatest asset of the infantryman was his ability to turn from offensive action to defensive in a heartbeat.
		In the assault role, the infantryman had to be ready to dig in and defend his conquered territory, re-establishing the fluid frontline.

	Combat Infantryman Badge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It, and the simultaneously created Expert Infantryman Badge were created with the primary goal of recognizing the sacrifices of the infantrymen who were disproportionately likely to be killed or wounded during World War II.
		The Combat Infantryman Badge is easily one of the most recognizable Army badges and is considered a “badge of honor” in that those who are awarded the decoration have participated in direct combat with an enemy force.
		The badge is similar in appearance to the Expert Infantryman Badge which is a recognition of infantry skills, rather than combat participation.

		It is rather rare to meet a genuine infantryman both inside and especially outside of the military in America since there are less than 49,000 active duty infantrymen in the United States Army today.
		Due to the very nature of the "work" with firearms, grenades, physical-emotional stress, and genuine violence, casualties and or deaths are not uncommon in both war and in peace.
		The infantryman is expected and trained to continue on with the mission despite personal fear, despair, fatigue and injury; through the foe, to the objective, though he be the last man.

	The Infantryman's Combat Load

	Canadian Infantryman
		Popularly seen in terms of trench warfare and as mindless cannon-fodder, there is an ignorance about what the infantryman is and what he (or in a few cases, she) does.
		Reaching these streets is the job of the infantryman and he is the only one to be able to do it.
		It is worth recalling that in WWII Canadian infantryman took 70% of the army’s casualties but represented less than 10% of the army’s strength.

	The Infantryman - History Forum
		I cannot predict what form of infantry shall be the main part of the military in the future, however- be it a modern incarnation of grenadiers, air cavalry, paratroops or plain old foot soldiers.
		An interesting thing to note is that although infantry equipment is becoming far more sophisticated, the actual effective range of an infantryman has dropped.
		Cartridges like the M1906.303 are too large for effective use in a normal automatic weapon carried by an infantryman, so the assault rifle, using a midsize cartridge, was born.
