Regarding the rest, you would think that, wouldn't you, as one of the number who isn't starving to death? All the while this theodicy doesn't actually surmount the problem of evil - it just ignores it, and makes the implication that those who don't benefit from this "soul building" aren't really worth considering, weighed against the rest of us whom you assert -do benefit...based upon nothing concrete whatsoever.
Good for you, good for your god, good for theodicy? Still wondering if you're content with the chains you've placed on a god.

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!
