Sure, np…and please remember that at least so far I’m really only discussing what we seem to be trying to do or say. We can try that all we like, and maybe even succeed on internal grounds. That is to say it’s logical and consistent and perhaps even well evidenced….and still get it wrong. That’s a consequence of cognitive semantics not limited to moral discourse. Maybe nyx isn’t a cat or black but there are good reasons or explicable phenomena going on that would explain why we can credibly think so.
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!
