They are brute facts, but that didn't negate any desire for an explanation, very often these explanations have been sought out - and with regularity they are found. "The regularities of nature" is a weasel phrase to begin with - what regularities, particularly? Is there something that you think is inexplicable, some place you'd like to cram a god? I can tell you, for example, why a plant tracks the sun with regularity. I'm guessing we'll just a reach a point where my explanations are exhausted - the explanations of others are exhausted, and then we'll see some "AHA! God"...this is also, of course, a regularity of nature requiring no intelligence.
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!
