Sure, we're told many things, but..I think which of the two kinds of universes or existences (that we're considering) we live in has little if anything to do with right or wrong. That it isn't on the basis of either, or their assumption, that we hang our moral intuitions. Case in point, a morality based on a gods whim is not a morality in which tense or time is the good or bad maker. Where the universe must be either presentist or eternalist. Irrelevant. A god's whim would be all that were relevant. Positing some necessity of one or the other in that case is both linguistically and conceptually bankrupt.
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!
