You wanna go proselytize, join a missionary group. The Marines are there to protect the country. They are sworn to protect the people and the constitution. God isn't, unless I'm gravely mistaken, even mentioned, let alone who they serve above all else.

Nowhere on our currency does it say 'In God We Trust' (which only appeared on US currency in 1954 onwards; the 'Red Scare', and all that jazz).

Yes let's confirm to the Iraqi people that we're there for a religious crusade and we want to preach and proselytize to them. That'll certainly stop them from setting off car bombs.
