God is a great case study in abuse of power and misuse of authority. What a powerful and useful metaphor. How often do human tyrant's behave in exactly the same manner? A message that will be relevant as long as human beings breathe. Hell, it's a metaphor a god might put in a story to teach us a lesson. It's just unfortunate that it can be no such thing, and that I'm a faithless evil-doer for suggesting it, or imagining gods wise enough to have beaten us to it.
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!
