Why does god love infantry

And the Infantry, the Armor, and the Artillery dwelt in the land therein. Then the Artillery created the Air Defense Artillery; but quickly asked forgiveness.

Again the Lord looked with favor upon the Infantry. He took those of the Armor, Artillery and Air Defense Artillery who most liked to play in the mud and these he made Combat Engineers, and those who dwelt in darkness and spoke in riddles and these he made Military Intelligence, and those with thieving hearts and these He made Quartermasters, and of those who neither sowed nor reaped and were most fond of hammering square pegs into round holes He made Adjutants General.

Of those who liked to tinker with good equipment until it broke He made the Ordnance Corps. Of those whose penchant was poison He made Cooks. Of those who ran around in circles He made the Transportation Corps. Of the least articulate He made Signalers. Of those who dealt in controlled substances He made the Medics and of those whose minds had been destroyed by the same made He the Chemical Corps.

And the Heavens darkened, and the clouds gathered. Have I not made the Armor and the Artillery to support thee? Have I not made of the detritus of the earth Quartermasters and Adjutants and Signalers and Transporters and a host of others to assist thee? Verily, have I not even made Military Intelligence, although it were a contradiction in terms?

Ernie Pyle was killed by a Japanese machine gunner on Ie Shima, an island off Okinawa, on April 18, —just four months before the end of the war in the Pacific. Steve shows you the predictable Resistance points that every writer hits in a work-in-progress and then shows you how to deal with each one of these sticking points.

This book shows you how to keep going with your work. Having failed with three earlier attempts at novels, here's how Steve finally succeeded. Steve shares his "lessons learned" from the trenches of the five different writing careers—advertising, screenwriting, fiction, nonfiction, and self-help.

This is tradecraft. An MFA in Writing in pages. Amateurs have amateur habits. Pros have pro habits. When we turn pro, we give up the comfortable life but we find our power. Steve answers the question, "How do we overcome Resistance? A truly moving account.

Thank you, Steven. Service — true service — is silent. It is nameless and faceless, it is anonymous. May God bless all the unsung warriors in the world today, who endure extraordinary trials and adversity so that the rest of us may have ordinary lives in peace.

First of all I have to say I love the way you write, Mr. The cavalry and artillery and all the the engineers, can never beat the Infantry, in one hundred thousand years. Silent, faceless, nameless. We need awareness like this injected into the daily news summaries. Wishful thinking, I know. Great content, Steven. Ernie Pyle was a great writer, his columns represent some of the best writing to come out of that war.

He told the story of the grunt better than it has ever been told. And Ernie was definitely in touch with the dogface. Thanks Steven for insight into someone that was before my time … although not by much!

His column on the Death of Captain Waskow is as great an example of writing and of soldiers as you will ever see. There is nothing I get pleasure from more compared to coming to this web-site each and every life just after work.

Thanks for all of the fabulous posts!! Sir, great article. There are, however Citizen-Soldiers still among us,as I count myself one. Served on missions 2. Thanks for another wonderful post. Where else could anybody get that type of info in such a perfect way of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such information. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
