I have, three or four times in -just- this thread, accepted that I may be an idea in a vat, and that I do not have full knowledge. So take that shit elsewhere Benny.
I am convinced that my experiences are referent, yes. I am convinced that they are referent to a material world, yes. If you aren't, you aren't...I can understand and respect that. I'm simply requesting that you play by the rules when explaining why. Otherwise we won't be able to make sense of each others statements, nor will we be able to trust our conclusions, whatever they may be, however different they are.

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!
