I'm not denying the antecedent.....I'm not formulating a logical statement or a proof against something -ala "ants aren't 5 feet tall therefore no god", I'm simply explaining that the statement made is false - including the conclusion as part of that statement. Part of it is not true, because part of it is not true, those laws which would lead to our conclusion cannot be counted upon. The statement is not true - as a whole, and this includes the conclusion....upon those grounds.
Your example, btw, was what I was opining upon in my question, not mine. It has problems due to necessary and sufficient conditions (which you don't run into often in casual philosophy - but which you cannot avoid in chipset design - it's an issue I'm very sensitive to
)

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!
