@MrItty Please, explain to my limited mindset how that does NOT imply the only way to serve one’s country is to join the military.
I’ll try but there are limits. Do you understand the meaning of the word “only”?
That is the word that you used and it is what I responded to. You said ”Your statement implies that joining the military is the _only way to serve one’s country._”
You are the only person to use the word only in this instance.
I did not say, imply, nor do I feel that to be true. There are many ways to serve. The question I responded to was NOT how many ways are there to serve your country, it was Ragingloli’s “Why should a president have military experience?”
Is that really too difficult for you to follow? Or do you just feel like having a pointless argument with me? It is more “did the candidate avoid Military service”, than did he serve as far as public perception goes.
