Yet again you swing and miss - for precisely the same reasons as you have in every response, reasons that have already been explained to you (and had been explained to you from the very first post I entered into this conversation with). If you want to have this discussion with me..rather than the discussion you're having with the man in your head.....you're going to have to at least make the attempt.
What's on the table is the use of doublet, allusion, and chorus. Not loaves and fucking fishes ..... In the absence of these -litarary devices- there is no theology in the narrative. Understand?
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!
