I don't know if lazy is the right word. Convenient, perhaps. The position of agnosticism can be leveraged to remove arguments from both the atheist and the theist. It also has to be said that agnosticism stood in as a alternative to the choice between "this god or no god", and was an argument developed before we had access to much of the information that one might use in forming an argument for atheism or theism today. In essence it was the divine "I don't know"....a strong argument for it's time.
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!
