Why there is something rather than nothing...
#31
RE: Why there is something rather than nothing...
-a variation on the theme of whether or not the question is properly formed.  Perhaps there's something, rather than nothing, because nothing is not a sensible concept in reference to the cosmos.  It sounds deep and profound, but in that case the question is actually a trivial absurdism.

It's a convenient (but also rational) answer to a question whose more pedantic answer is simply "We don't know".
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!
