I'm not determined to, I can't justify the alternative. The narratives of heavenly reward , and absolute (just) moral authority, being an intended outcome of a divine plan, all very seductive to me. I just haven't seen any evidence that they actually exist. Nonetheless, I see life as sacred, I simply use a different justification for it. Why is it that atheists are always characterized as bitter people with a lack of respect for human life? Do you have any idea of the physical toll my body has taken (or the shit that my memories and mind are filled with) in trying to defend others, no, you don't.
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!
