I'd like to believe in a whole host of little godlings running around, some of them not so nice and benevolent. What a wonderfully rich narrative we've created for ourselves with this whole god business. Wonderfully rich just so long as we don't actually swallow the koolaid, that is. I half expect some fairy tale monster to come running out from behind my shed everytime I go outside at night, no shit. Real, heart-pounding anxiety over this. Thankfully, they don't. I was an atheist long before I ever formed an emotional opinion of the subject, and my emotional opinions of that subject aren't so single-minded as one might think.
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!
