If he'd just been the big man eh? Why dig latrines when there are graves yet to be dug? I mean, fuck all this civil administration shit..people don;t need facilities - it's time to count coo motherfucker!
-Tells you a bit about the author of this piece of fiction eh?

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!

1 It happened in the spring of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the people of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem.
It was the time when kings go out to battle, but David didn't. If he had, none of this would have happened. Yes! I think Uriah still works as a foil in that scenario, perhaps even more so. Maybe his actions remind David of his own irresponsibility to the troops and makes it even easier for him to slide down that slope to ruin.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

While David's fall begins before Uriah's faithfulness, yes, Uriah's actions may have contributed to David's guilt and to his furthering his crimes.

Bathsheba was young, black and apparently very beautiful. I Seriously doubt she was raped.
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.

Maybe 'David' was having a frat kegger in the palace?

I don't know if you honestly don't see how fucking disgusting this is or if you're just okay with it.
If a woman doesn't scream loud enough for someone to hear then it doesn't count as rape and she should be put to death (if married) or forced to marry her rapist. You seem to be misrepresenting the verse. I don't feel like looking it up, but from what I recall a woman raped within city limits is automatically guilty, then they tack on she didn't scream loud enough for a reason why she's guilty. I'm pretty sure.

First off, why black and not middle eastern?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

After all what if he held at knife point or simply gagged her?

Archaeology tells us that 10th century "Jerusalem" was a motley collection of huts. There wouldn't have been a bathtub in 50 miles.
