On the consistent use of "objective" and "subjective"
#10
RE: On the consistent use of "objective" and "subjective"
-as elaboration on the above.

The terms are leveraged in certain faith traditions as trigger words, nothing more or less.  That's why it's so easy to turn someone into a flaming car wreck from the other side of the god aisle.  The Atheist™ (lol) can rely on a certain reflexive behavior if we invoke them, and we can expect predictable behavior when they are invoked.  It's more than a little bit unfortunate that their faith traditions have ill-equippd them so egregiously, and then suggested or implied that they should go out into the world fishing for men with a broken reel.

(I'm sure that there are certain folks out there, who read this, and reflexively want to argue against every single jot and tittle ....but that..ofc, only strengthens the point)
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!
