The idea behind the lawsuits isn't that they could actually win. It's the hassle of the legal process, and the willingness of some to settle anything out of court.

I do honestly think that the whole thing started as an elaborate con. I think the wbc was always intended to be a tax shelter, and a fount of potential legal actions. It's almost brilliant from that angle. Scientology did something very similar just a couple of years before(1953) this church performed it's first public service(1955). Their legal policies and public image are part of the machine. The similarities between the two are astonishing.
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!
