Certainly Mazer your comment about soldiers "always" choosing to fight was a generalization, but albed could not be satisfied by merely mentioning there are exceptions, he had to search the web to list them, which in his mind discredits your entire "connection to reality."
Meanwhile, his list contains two individuals who've chosen not to fight from the some 130,000 currently in Iraq and the nearly 1.5 million currently enlisted.
I mean my god Mazer, how heinously, blatantly, dangerously false could your characterization have been!!? lol
Not surprisingly, he's so determined to prove you wrong that he seems barely cognizant of having solidly reinforced your basic point: the overwhelmingly vast majority of soldiers exhibit a willingness to comply when called upon to fight.
But this doesn't matter to him because his 'debating strategy' is best summarized in his own words: "Maybe you're just trying to support you position in any way you can."--with the exception that he really doesn't even have a position about the issue per se beyond the apparently overwhelming urge to squelch your position in his own mind by using the word "LIE" as an ignore switch.
Since he rarely offers a coherent alternative point of view in the compulsive negative flatulence he directs at all opinions not his own, one can only assume this is his 'normal' way of dispensing with, in his own world and mind, any and all entities and entire systems of thought with which he is either unequipped to argue, or from which he is too lazy or arrogant to effectively extrapolate.
