Good use of prayer
September 29, 2011 at 3:57 pm
At my kiddos soccer practice the other night, I heard a mom tell her child to "pray every night to God that your teeth come in straight so I don't have to get you braces so we can use that money to go to Disney World."
I thought... wow, what a fabulous use of prayer. I knew you guys would appreciate this!

So that's what the kids are praying for these days? In my day the cause du jour was starving children in Africa :p

Yeah, exactly!! I'll have my kiddo aim the soccer ball towards his head... wait, that may mess up the teeth even worse, huh?

If I believed in their angry desert god, I'd be telling my kid to just continually pray that god spare him from eternal fiery torment.
Write the dentist a check bitch! Your son could burn!

Hardly, prayer is the one thing we have a surplus of.....and bullets.
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!

WTF? You mean all I had to do to avoid braces was do that? And my son too. I fucked up! Shit! I could have thousands of dollars in my pocket right now if only...

I'll swap you some of our(Uk) brain cells for some US missiles. Scratch that, they only land on friendlies anyway.

You know you hear this a lot, but it has to do with our overall theory of crippling and oppressive firepower, applied in an instant and sustained without interruption until nothing is moving. The way we pull it off without unbelievable amounts of friendly fire is mainly by positioning and communication, not target recognition. If an element is out of place it's pretty much automatically assumed that it is enemy contact. We do this because it works extremely well, and with complete understanding of the limitations of this particular tactic ( I was a SAW gunner btw, so I would be the worst offender in a ff scenario, as the only person likely to be carrying a fully automatic weapon). Hilariously we don't really stress rifle accuracy anymore unless you're talking infantry, and the kids behind the keyboard on that missile platform were probably drunk and watching Buffy not but an hour beforehand. So many jokes about US soldiers but not a lot of appreciation for what they do, yes, even for you Brits (though as long as you aren't implicating the infantry I'm totally on-board with you, the rest of those fuckers are not squared away).
US missiles btw, are nasty as shit, who manufactures your missiles in the UK?
Shoot first, apologize to the widow later. If you guys don't like the way we play maybe you should take your ball and leave.
