We're proficient in that regard regardless of the existence of free will. That's one of the things that free will was always problematic on. It's hard to point out what it would be needed to do. I suppose at one point in time it was easier to maintain the sort of incredulity required to posit free will as a solution to the questions of "how could we do x, otherwise?" but that's no longer the case. Even if nothing we now know is actually how we do x, otherwise..we at least know ways that x can be done in the absence of free will.
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!
