They have both asked me my thoughts on vicarious redemption last night, and I am just now posting about it. I planned on writing a whole long post about it in my own words once I read up on it some, but at this point I think I'm just going to paste a link on here. I agree with everything it says, and I think the author covers it pretty well and puts it into words much better then I ever could:

I really don't want to jump down your throat like I'd jump down the author's...and I'm sure you don't agree with -everything- the author has to say...so, maybe, just summarize the parts you do agree with? I have some really nasty things to say............about the nasty things I just read, and I don't want to hit you with shit you wouldn't put your name to.
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!
