Sadly, you may be correct in many ways.
But, I'm just planting seeds, dude. To do that, I have to break up some rocky ground, first.
Now -there's a metaphor I can love! Trouble is that you aren't breaking ground, you're compacting it. You know what grows in compacted ground? Weeds, not crops. Are you contributing the the weeds or do you wish to sow the bounty of our lord, christ jesus? Are you a planter of wheat or a planter of thistles?

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!
