Our brains evolved for dinner, not critical thinking or introspective discussion, and yet here we are. One of our neat little tricks, our adaptations, is large scale environmental engineering. Hyper social, opposable thumbs, big brain.... We've been doing it since before we had a word for it. Before it's own architects could conceive of the true scale of their endeavors or their consequences. We changed the face of this planet before we scribbled down the first word and we haven't exactly let off the gas since. Humans and livestock are like 95% of the large mammalian biomass.
Killing people isn't even a drop in the bucket of all the killing we do. Frankly, I find it remarkable that a creature like us with needs like ours on a planet like this one ever even accidentally manages to do something genuinely good. It's clear we've got our hands full, where do we even find the time?

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!
