You didn't hit all the important caveats. It is also metaphoric when that doesn't mesh with their literal beliefs, but they find themselves incapable of demonstrating as much, and it is literal - regardless of the contents of their actual metaphoric beliefs, when it would impugn some other item of the same. In short....
Whatever it takes......
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!

That which could be anything is not knowable.

A term that applies to everything, means nothing in particular. Not that it matters, Leks god isn't everything, it's a wizard in the sky, same as every other theist. They refuse to acknowledge that because even they know how stupid it sounds. It's a dumb idea forever in search of a justification just one notch less ignorant than what bore it.
