Got ourselves a run of the mill ret-conner, it would seem. If you like these narratives (and I can understand that) then perhaps you should address them on their own terms rather than stretching them to fit your wholly unrelated, and modern (regardless of their factual accuracy), narratives?
Ancient people believed in their narratives for their reasons...not yours. They weren't referring to what you believe (or what you know), in those stories, they were referring to what they believed. That you can make a model fit is an artifact of your ability and desire, but not of the meaning of the stories...or any knowledge they possessed.

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!
