If we end up with a candidate who runs on an overtly religious platform in the general election, I'll be at the voting booth for the first time in decades. I honestly don't see that happening though, because once they've pandered to what they feel to be their base and secured the running rights (so to speak)...they'll have to change their message quite a bit to draw in the general vote. I expect the bible thumping to end the minute they have what they want and need to cross the aisle for votes. I expect alot of backpedaling and revision. See, no matter how idiotic they sound in front of a friendly audience, I don't think any of these people are as stupid as they seem.
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!
