Is belief really a choice?
#58
RE: Is belief really a choice?
Meh, whether or not a choice can be said to be praiseworthy (or if there was any point in making one) would be something I'd address after it was established that there was any choice to consider. Skipping step 1 is going to make steps 2 through - 200 suspect.

Confusedkips step 1:
-strokes furiously-
:calls the unspoken contents of step 1 a "conclusion":
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!
