So we have a necessary conclusion that is used to as a foundation for ancillary theories that support the conclusion. Would that make it more like an assumption or just circular reasoning.Well, remember..these were your words, not mine...if common descent is a necessary conclusion of the most well evidenced theory in all of science....a theory itself being a mountain of facts.....why, again, do you doubt it?
(it's not, ofc, it is...for the umpteenth time, yet another observation -firstly- a fact...we share genetic code... which is explicable within the framework of the theory, not necessary or fundamental to it.)
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!
