"Some gods", subtle but important distinction, the mistake coming right at the very beginning, same criticism as always, completely absent from your "opus" as usual. You obviously do spend a considerable amount of time on this, why you are so reluctant to establish yourself in the arena of peer review and rigorous scholarship is beyond me. Are your own pet theories so important to you that you would prefer to keep them intact rather than perform due diligence with regards to a subject which you have a clear and focused interest in? If you could contain yourself to the cultures which you have a preference for in your conclusions this would actually be decent stuff (if you could demonstrate the validity of your conclusions by means external to your interpretations of any given text it would be cultural anthropology instead of a creative writing exercise).
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!
