That played out pretty clearly in the details of northern europe's conversion. In most cases, it was a political agreement between a handful of elites more than the reality on the ground. That took alot longer, and, as you mention..sustained and direct action with an incalculable list of casualties and collateral damage. Ultimately, though, the current religions we profess have shown their ability to incorporate or subsume similar explanations and narratives about the world if not immediately, then over the course of a few generations. In that light, the failure of those same religions to provide a compelling synthesis in the case of the current cultural truthmaker is new and may be profoundly consequential.
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!
