No ones disputing that religion has played a role. It's just that the role religion has played seems to be the foil. A long litany of things -not to do-, a never-ending list of -poor justifications-. This is a point which you yourself have helped to drive home with your examples. You're interested in what you can -cut out- of religious philosophies. What we're telling you - is that there's no need to do so. You can find what you need without the use of scissors, without any reference to religion.
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!
