Or the odds of him actually killing you before you take the gun and beat his silly ass to death with it for making a terrible mistake in his assessment of just how far either of you is willing to go in violence respectively. This is exactly the stance I take regarding the "terrorist god" concept. If he's going to point a gun at me he'd better have a fucking deathgrip on it. To say that I don't appreciate this sort of "persuasion" is to state my opinion very lightly.
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 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!
