The "sacrifice" is the same from either human being. You may think the motivations are of lesser value or quality, but at the end of the day, both hypothetical folks will have traded their lives for the life of another. At that point, their motivations for doing so are effectively moot. It doesn't matter, person A is dead, and because of this person B is alive. If someone took a bullet for me because they thought that god wanted them too, good for them, but more importantly, good for me. If I took a bullet for the god botherer I doubt that he would go sour grapes on my act because I thought his god was ridiculous bullshit.
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!
