How can a single word answer now repeated three times have you so utterly confused?
There is no requirement that I believe that goodness and badness is a miasmatic dust which settles on things and by doing so makes them bad. Only that the thing to which we refer exists and is present regardless of our opinion of it. Since those things to which I would refer do exist, and are present, regardless of my opinion of them or your opinion of them, they form the basis of a coherent empirical claim on moral realism.
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!
