The Wingman's Creed is structurally similar to creeds used by various branches of the United States armed forces. The lines "''Without my wingman I am nothing, Without me my wingman is nothing''" are particularly reminiscent of "''Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless.''" from the United States Marine Corps' ''Rifleman's Creed''. | |||
