The Dunning-Kruger Effect and Religious Belief
#16
RE: The Dunning-Kruger Effect and Religious Belief
I tried to off myself, once, but the round was a dud so I decided to go to a bar across the street and drink, instead.  That's how I met The Wife.  I'll never forget the ritual.  I showered, I shaved...I cleaned my apartment meticulously...then I put on my dress greens and stuck a rifle in my mouth.  A few hours later I fell down in a plastic lawn chair because I couldn't stand up and it was someone else's table..I looked across and said "Hey Red, what's your name" - because I couldn't see any better than I could stand and she was wearing a fire engine powersuit (with shoulder pads, lol).

So...you know, many kids later, but I could've blown my face off like a nub.  Glad it went the other way....I'm a handsome man.

(am too!)
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!
