I didn’t say it can’t be both. The overarching truth will at certain times align with a nuanced consideration. However, the nuanced consideration is often employed precisely because the broad truth falls short or doesn’t quite apply, which is why I said seems irreconcilable.

And we’ve arrived at the place me and a co-worker often end up at, where do we reside, “broader truth” or “nuanced understanding.”

Maybe the idea was all Dirk is capable of handing out is an “L”

You are unequivocally correct.

(I know it’s long. I apologize, but the topic requires detailed explanation. This is the abridged version)

Minus the existential threat, it is hard to accept “the sacrificed for freedom” claim. I am in the military, what you’re saying was shockingly and eloquently said by another service member.
