Wouldn't it be simpler (and a whole hell of alot less slimy) Frods my love, if you simply conceded that in these conquest narratives god is being invoked as pretense (regardless of whether or not the narratives are factually accurate to begin with)? When people wave their god around like it was their dick the temptation to godwillsit™ is probably too much to deny. Of course their god willed their expansions and conquests, regardless of whether or not their god actually did (and regardless of whether or not it exists)...
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!
