I look forward to the day that a soldiers job is perceived to be the unyielding defense of the entire human race. As opposed to killing the enemy. What enemy? Those are your friends over there on the other ridgeline. They like what you like and do what you do. They came from the same kind of towns and are used by the same kinds of people with the same kind of indifference and callousness. You'd never have a better buddy.
They say there are no atheists in foxholes, but there are only atheists in foxholes. If God wants you dead a foxhole won't help you stay alive. If God wants you alive a foxhole is redundant. So everyone who is in a foxhole is there because they don't believe there's a God who can carry out his will, foxhole notwithstanding.
