-as an addendum to the above.
The more I hear christers tell me that human beings are broken creatures...and that we should fall to our knees and pray for what dreams may come, the more I'm inclined to believe that they, at least -are- broken creatures..who have nothing to live for excepting whatever life believe follows this one. Line up all the shitty things that have ever happened, to me, and after every single one of them you can just go ahead and tack on a "-and life is awesome, I'd do it all over again!". Whereas some minor tragedy in a believers life has them wishing to meet their maker. Crying unto heaven, and hoping for the day this nasty, brutish world..... this vale of tears, is lifted.
What I never understand, is why they seem to think that any of their sad-sack stories...have anything to do with me?

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 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!
