I have a suspicion that my general feelings about philosophy largely being masturbatory gobbledygook will remain in place regardless.

I wouldn't be "amazed" at having my "eyes opened" in the manner you imply, only disgusted. I'd still be me, and not you...in short. But good luck with your superstitions nonetheless.
The more you speak, Rhythm, the more you bury yourself deep into the shadows of death.
I'm going to die regardless of what I say, and you're going to die regardless of what you believe in. Fact. You've got the evangelical fire in your belly tonight, been drinking? Here, let me raise my glass with you. Are you ever going to get around to describing precisely what you took issue wih in my statements or will this just be a litany of childish comments regarding light and dark, shadow and 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!
