Well, I would reference biology and conditioning in that regard..and the plus side is that I can demonstrate the existence of biology and conditioning....you see why the two explanations may not be equal? Why I might have suspicions that the idea of "free will" is actually code for something else? I don't think that my kids "decide" to be good or bad, for example..and maybe thats because they're too little to make decisions like that (that has to be mentioned). If we were referencing consequences and avoidance I wouldn't call that "free will" either..we're definitively hardwired for avoidance.
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!
