Everything has a nature. The nature of a thing is what it does. A frog singing would be supernatural, unless frogs sang, at which point frogs singing would be natural - because a frogs nature is whatever frogs do.
Sounds like an empty set by definition. It only contains things that nothing does. Ironically, the conclusion that all things done are natural follows from this description of the supernatural.

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 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!
