Pretty sure, Benny, that no is disputing that you're using "something" at the candle aisle. Just not convinced that your free will is a tool that determines which candy bar you pick up..if it exists in the first place, or..more broadly, that free will is an explanation for or contributing factor to choice - assuming it does exist. That's the amusing bit. If we could demonstrate that there were a ghost in the machine..it would get us no closer to demonstrating that the ghost was at the controls. I think theres a simpler explanation for all that ambiguity.
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!
