At most your reasoning brings you to it was designed to be that way, and that doesn’t necessarily support the mythicist view. If you think that it is numerologically significant, the you are going to think that it was by design, either by God or by man.What do you want me to call something designed to be a myth? To me, "myth" seems like an appropriate term for something like that.
OFC it was by mans design. Men write myths, not gods. Not even the looniest christian nitwit thinks that god was sitting around the ane with pen in hand wondering how to write a true war story.
Not a fan of blazing saddles, lol? In this case I don;t have to be the objective judge..because, as I;ve mentioned over and over, I;m simply conveying the work of christian scholarship to know nothing literalists.
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!
