Like I think gun nutters who think of the 2nd amendment as giving every US citizen a way to express their disapproval of the government by shooting someone are a little over the top. Now I know that will rub Rhythm the wrong way but that's okay. He'd shoot anyone who tried to fuck with my right to criticize him. That is the kind of tough hided, open discussion we like to have around here.
-them, their mama, and all her bridge playin friends.......
On an only -slightly- more serious note - that's a portion of who I am and what I hold to that I never try to justify, don't care to - and it's the closest experience I have to how I view the religious beliefs of others. If somebody finds cause to criticze what I;ve done or what I'm willing to do in service of -that-.....I'm not going to waste my time trying to argue that I'm right for it, I can accept that my motivations in this have nothing to do with right and wrong, and there's just no requirement, in me or for me, to be right in order for that conviction to compel me to action.
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 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!
