Quote:I walk to the kitchen, open the fridge, and ponder what I will eat for breakfast-- that's free will, and it's real enough.I think that the implications brought by illusion are not that it is not real - in the sense you seem to be using it, any more than a magician pulling a rabbit from a hat is "not real" - and yet exists. Mechanics of language. I don't think that anyone claiming that it is an illusion is claiming that it is nothing, -non-existent-...that you and I both don't have that experience. It seems to me, rather, that they are suggesting that free will may be as real as a magician pulling a rabbit from a hat...however you choose to take that..lol.
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!
