None of it is trivial -to me-. I hold the dignity and goodness of a soldier as firmly as a catholic holds to the trinity...and presented with an example of a "bad soldier".....my gut reaction, is that they were obviously not true soldiers™. Mercs, maybe, rebels, insurgents, pretenders. Not soldiers. Ditto to America and Americans. You asked for an example of my religiosity, these things fit that bill - even if they aren't traditional (or don't seem to be to you).
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!
