Maybe this revelation could have been given to a literate culture? Or maybe it could have been given to all cultures? Maybe write in the sky in big neon letters? Maybe sit down with people one on one and relate a consistent narrative? I assume that this god would have many more ideas than I am capable of fielding, but thusfar, even this short selection of alternatives seems to have eluded it.
No, instead of any of this, the revelation was provided to one group of people (or so we are led to believe) as a narrative of manifest destiny. I'm sorry, but even I (a lowly mortal) can see why this course of action is woefully incompetent, and entirely unconvincing.

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!
