Sounds harsh, yes? But how could it be otherwise? We've all done things we know we should not have done. When we make bad choices, for a moral point of view, we do so not because of some honest mistake, but because we desire it more...we desire it even if we know it is not the wise choice, like sugar. That is the corruption of the flesh. Repentance is forgoing what is false, evil and ugly and thereby choosing what is good, true and beautiful.
You're literally asking how it could possibly be that people make a mistake and then breathlessly asserting that we never do. I think that's an absurd premise even before you break into full christianese about it.
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!
