The Ultimate Value and the signs of it in ourselves.
#76
RE: The Ultimate Value and the signs of it in ourselves.
That you think right and wrong are fundamentally different from a preference over vanilla or chocolate is betrayed by the many people who have varying descriptions of what is right, and what is wrong. You demand that it -be- more, regardless of whether or not it is and so down the rabbit hole we go with a never-ending series of "why" questions to which no answer other than your own will satisfy you.

...which is, ironically, the situation between vanilla and chocolate and any given preference for one over the other.
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!
