USN?

Nah, I'm talking about REAL sailors, not boys in their dress whites drinking shandies and pink umbrella drinks.

The Navy? Hehe They're weak! Now the Marines, those are the men you wanna fuck.

Do you know why the Navy has Marines on their ships? Sheep would be too obvious.

I'll take that as a 'no'.

More that it bores people to tears, doesn't usually change any minds, and doesn't actually matter whether the theory is true or some other theory is true.  Christianity is a shitshow for human rights as fact or fiction.  We'd just be rearranging deck chairs.
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!

The Marines are a department of the navy, the men's department.

There could be 8 billion theists in the world, and just one atheist (me), and that still wouldn't mean virgins can pop out little water-walking babies that rise from the dead and float into the sky.

God: "This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you." (He describes onerous forms of taxation).

King George III enacts onerous forms of taxation per God's position description for kings.

Evangelicals: The king broke his contract with the Founding Fathers. They were right to rebel.
