You keep saying if you are asserting this..or if you are asserting that.
Ham, stop. I'm simply pointing out that the assertion that the principles of ones authority are incontrovertibly true is the very definition of dogmatic..and that if there are a priori truths, that being dogmatic is being dogmatic..is one of them.
There is no qualifier on the definition "unless they have a really good reason" and..not for nothing...they always say they do..don't they? I get that you think you have good reasons for this or that..I keep agreeing with you that you do, and that I agree with this or that. I do concede, however, that there are also people who have good reasons for positions which conflict with our this or that's...up to and including the validity or accuracy of our principles.

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!
