By dangling services as bait, services they now take as political hostages anytime the issue of their rapacious business model is brought up, which has been going on since the beginning of that business.
Christianity didn't start when a man rose from the dead, but when a bishop started handing out little cakes to the poor in rome. It was at that exact moment that the pagan intelligentsia and roman adminstrative state knew that their days were numbered. They could see a straight line between that act of strategic charity and the dissolution of their world order - and they didn't (or couldn't) stop it then, either.
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!
