Do i think the moral thing to do is give a sick man medicine and not eat him? I;m starting to wonder what rock you crawled out of.
Of course it's a thought experiment, your thought experiment, in which you control the variables. In your thought experiment, the only choices are death or depravity, and you seem to be taken aback that anyone would choose death. You should have known that before you started in..when I said I'd rather die than castrate those who disagree, and asked you to hold a bandolier of ammo for me in my hypothetical insurgency against anyone who would choose the latter over the former. If you were capable of putting yourself in Steves shoes (or the castratis)..which by now I can see you aren't., this would have been a much shorter conversation.
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!
