"From a spiritual point of view, that doesn't happen by accident."

and

"He turned it over to display the picture card tucked inside, depicting Michael the Archangel stamping on Lucifer's head. "I don't need luck," he said."

Both quotes from the story.

Just goes to show that Allah ain't got nothing on the God that looks over marines!

The new MICH is a serious improvement and the original Kevlar sucked ass, just like the POS M9 that came with it
