...why would anyone make such a statement?
We don't know why you would say something that stupid. But, the fact remains, despite your silly attempts at revisionist history, that is what YOU said, Luke.
I think it's obvious that YOU inferred such was the context (you certainly can't SHOW that was the context I was using).
Besides, such an inferrence is patently wrong as it would change a perfectly reasonable expression of opinion by an articulate poster (an opinion already defened without rebuttal) into an absurd non-sequitur.
I think hope is the father of the wish here... I think someone with poor reading comprehension HOPED someone who was schooling them had made a certain claim, so the could derail an argument they were losing. Eh? Maybe getting closer to the truth here?
Yet I stand by my statement, have explained my thinking and remain unchallenged.
The Luke
PLEASE!! No body inferred it; you flat-out said it.
...if eveyone was a conscientious objector... well you can figure out the rest.
Besides, to the best of my knowledge America has never really won a war. So what's the point in dying, or killing third world losers, for multinational corporations profits?
The LukeIf that were your goal, achieving multinational corporation profits, and you achieved it via going to war, guess what that means, boy genius........YOU'VE WON THAT WAR!!!
If that weren't enough, a conscientious objector is someone who refuses to serve in combat. Therefore, per your silly quip, the context here is COMBAT.
As you do far too often, you make some screwball statement, thinking no one can challenge you or debate you on it.
Then, when your hind quarters get exposed and subsequently whipped red, you flee in haste, scrambling for some goofy excuse to buy you some time to change your argument.
The context of winning a war is ALWAYS that of a military standpoint, and that was the standpoint in which you made your original statement.
