It's an effect of conditioning. He's been told (and repeatedly assured himself) that what he;s talking about is moral objectivity and that if what he;s talking about -isn;t- moral objectivity then there is no such thing. That conditioning conditions these boards. I;ve been watching it happen for years. That, in turn, reinforces his conditioning.
It;s a vicious cycle of misapprehension that clouds a fairly simple issue. Simple in principle, mind..if not in practice, lol. As often as these discussions crop up...notice how barren a thread directly about it was? It;s not being discussed on it;s own merits, only as a hatchet misappropriated and misclassified as an appeal to consequence when some nutball christer wants to claim that without a god the world would be in utter a-moral depravity and then rejected as a reactionary measure by those who don;t feel inclined to defer to his silly fucking god, lol.

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!
