I think the greatest danger there is if and when our "spirituality" identifies some real item of consequential concern and we turn it into some other thing, utterly missing the marked target and maybe even at odds with it. Think about gods and their interface to spirituality, and the collateral damage to those ideas about meaning and purpose and connection that are alleged to be god derived and turn out not to be. Well..conceivably, some of that stuff was a good idea, but it's going to get shitcanned along with the people who made it into a god pleasing contest...most likely by the next bunch of god pleasers.
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!
