I take it, that you must be appalled when others do that here, twisting the arguments and positions of others.
Yeah. I couldn't resist trading on the ambiguity. LOL I'm surprised anyone took the time to be offended.
Some like to give jabs, but can't take them. (People in glass houses and all) I only think it is an issue if someone is just intentionally mean, or if they think this is a replacement for critical thought.
As I said, I took your comment to be "in fun" not thinking that you where seriously advancing any position.

I'm not. It's the sort of comment people have come to expect from you in earnest, congratz, lol. Personally, I thought it was pretty clever.
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!
