“The Horns of the Altar” and bulls?
#34
RE: “The Horns of the Altar” and bulls?
I suppose it gets weedy. The description of the construction of the altar is a just-so story meant to explain some state of the altar (and altar culture) in the then-present with respect to a mythical or legendary past. The authors of these stories didn't actually know why the altars were constructed the way they were. They likely had no connection to and no knowledge of what we might call the foundational iteration of their faith - which must have already been divergent from it's outset by definition.
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!
