Quote:If I believed we were nothing but material made from star dust, I would still believe hurting others is wrong, but I wouldn't quite understand why.You're probably not a sociopath.....and I'd hate to call you a liar for this...but.......are you being entirely honest with us or yourself? You'd be at a loss as to explain why raping and pillaging, pushing old women into traffic and skull-fucking toddlers were wrong.....were it not for this "god" business? Really.....?
If that's the contention you have, if you want to run with it and have others see you as that person...then okay. If it's true, it's true.......but I think you may need to speak to someone other than the members of this forum about that.
Gotta say, I feel for you, must be a strange position to be in, I've never found myself in that position so my comments wouldn't mean much. That any of those things above is right or wrong doesn't have anything to do, for me, with who created us, for what, or -with- what.
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!
