Unity Through Faith?
#17
RE: Unity Through Faith?
Imagination and fact are not mutually exclusive, and it's not hard to find any number of ways large and small that the application of human imagination to problems supported by factual information about those problems has a strong correlation with thriving in a non novel sense. If, by thrive, you simply mean we enjoy a thing..and we treat imagination as antithetical to fact or utility-in-fact, then yeah..sure, but you aren't saying much and it certainly isn't the case example of human flourishing - we have a far more accurate term for that. Folly. To wit, shit we do when we're already doing so well...presumably by skillfully acting on factual information in other areas of our life... that we don't need our actions in a particular case or time to be fact based or have any specific purpose in fact.

Don't get me wrong. Been there, done that, had a great time, too....for sure.
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!
