I just saw a piece on the rise of religion, specifically Christianity, in the US. Media coverage of religious themes is up 300% in the last 10 years and religious article sales, not including movies, is an $8 billion business now. Cardinal Mahoney was interviewed and said that in his opinion more than anything else 9/11 and the ongoing terrorist attacks are the reason for the rediscovery of Christianity. People are scared.
Polarization?

The only thing clean on him is his weapon and he made his web gear. He doesn't worry about what workout to do - his ruck weighs what it weighs, his runs end when the enemy stops chasing him. This True Believer is not concerned about 'how hard it is;' he knows either he wins or dies. He doesn't go home at 17:00, he is home.
He knows only The Cause.
Still want to quit?
