LOL, padraic, was just an amusing turn of phrase. I've been in food production for awhile, and I'm an avid hunter. I've dropped the hammer on more than a few animals in my time and I'd be lying if I told you that they died with dignity. When pressed about this, I can admit abject cruelty for no reasons other than to satisfy a predatory instinct and the love of barbecued meat. I only have myself to point at here. Halal, on the other hand, is preparing livestock in a manner that is assumed to appease the lord god.
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!
