Meh, I don't know that this omission has anything to say about the love of a god. I would probably question how much "effort" could possibly be involved in these corrections for such a being..but love? Meh. I fail to correctly explain a great many things to my children, doesn't mean I love them any more, or any less, doesn't really have anything to do with love (for me anyway). Plenty of "smart" believers in the world...why we imagine that they are any more questioning of their narrative-of-faith as the ones who aren't "smart" is beyond me. Being smart, having a functioning brain, or a phd is no defense against religious bullshit. It's been refined over the millenia to appeal to us from every possible angle....the good, the bad, and the ugly. May as well add the smart and the stupid to that list.
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!
