If it were some concept of divinity that hinged on reducing harm and promoting wellbeing, sure - it would be a superfluous diety in that context, which it is in the context of morality anyway..but hey..it could be done. It's not for impossibility or incongruency that believers have failed to do so, that's just not the kind of ghost that tickles their god bone. The small minded smiting types get all the groupies nowadays. Hmn, wonder why that might be.
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!
