If you've concluded , through reason, that solipsism is incorrect - then any problem presented by solipsism is not an issue which requires a solution. Plugging this business into the thornier crevices of some argument that you have stated your disagreement with is the height of pointlessness. You've postulated all of this as a solution to the problems of an argument you do not agree with, and with no reference to reality exterior to the conjecture. Good luck with that. I hope that you can one day find the means to determine the veracity of the statements made.
Lets be a little more critical in considering our own positions, shall we?
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!
