She thinks "AD" means "After Death"? How fucking dense can you get? I mean, Jesus supposedly died in 30-36 AD for one, which means he died 30-36 years after he died. Also, what were all the years in-between?

It's a mnemonic device used in sunday schools on little children.
"BC-Before Christ, AD-After Death"
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!

I've heard it before. It's just kind of stupid that people think that is actually what it stands for.
