I have had two careers, in teaching and in the military. You can't even use the term "soldier" appropriately.

I used the word as it is defined in the dictionary

That is the appropriate use.

I quoted the dictionary definition and you deflected. Soldier equals Army. Now, go back and play with your toy "soldiers" on your pirate ship play set. You bore me.

Know what is interesting? Both Admiral Tory and I agree on something, which is extremely rare, like a sign of the Apocalypse rare. Both he and I think you are an idiot for thinking that the term "soldier" can apply to Sailors. Sorry, but the skillsets required for one service do not translate well to the other. And no, Sailors do NOT like being called "soldiers". Why? Because we are magical beings who walk on water.

I know the definition of the word.

And the word soldier can be used correctly to describe any member of the military

Just because you were told by your superiors in the navy that you were not a soldier because they had to make you think you were somehow better than members of the other military branches in no way means that the definition I used was used incorrectly

Take it up with the publisher of the dictionary I quoted

it most certainly is not. “Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution provides Congress authority to raise and support Armies and to provide and maintain a Navy.” The Army pre-dates the Constitution & is the oldest military branch in the US military.

Wrong.

“To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years…”

The incessant funding of a standing army is in fact un-Constitutional; indeed, the notion of a standing army in of itself is un-Constitutional and in violation of the Framers’ original intent.

I had a little extra time tonight, so I did a Google search for the definition of soldier. There were the first 8 I found.

a person who serves in an army.

one engaged in military service and especially in the army

a person who serves in an army;

an enlisted man or woman who serves in an army

a person who is in an army and wears its uniform

one who fights as part of an army.

a person serving in an army; member of an army

In the U.S. military, the term "soldier" specifically refers to Army personnel.

Now, do you notice the one thing they all have in common?

I will await your surrender.

In the last few days:

Pearl Harbor shooting: US sailor opens fire at a shipyard days before the anniversary of historic attack - CNN

Pensacola shooting: 3 dead and several injured at Naval Air Station - CNN


Nothing to see here, folks.

T's & P's

The blame falls completely on the criminals, not the over 90 million private citizens (Democrat and Republican alike) that don't ever commit crimes with their weapons.
As terrorists like to kill with motor vehicles...should we ban the use of motor vehicles? Oh wait, no....because you ride in or drive one. Should we ban knives because many people have been stabbed? Oh wait, no. You use knives every day. Many a person has been killed with a hammer. Should we ban hammers? Oh wait, no. Everybody uses a hammer at one time or another.
A firearm in a law abiding citizen's hands who is safe with them, isn't a danger to you. Also, you would be very safe in a room with people who have concealed carry permits and their weapons on them; safer than in a room without them.
This push for gun-grabbing is a communist/socialist push so that they can take apart the Constitution and implement their draconian laws, as "everyone must be in lockstep belief."
If you or any other far-left fool believes that such a government would be good, simply try living in Venezuela, China, Cuba, or North Korea, for awhile; then come back and tell us how wonderful it is.

You'll notice that is does not say exclusively in the army but rather especially in the army

Words mean things

It may be more common to use the word soldier for those in the army but then again Marines are nothing but soldiers

I did not use the word incorrectly

That you have to try to prove I did with such vehemence is quite amusing. You really must have tied your identity to the word

it most certainly is not. “Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution provides Congress authority to raise and support Armies and to provide and maintain a Navy.” The Army pre-dates the Constitution & is the oldest military branch in the US military.

Wrong.

“To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years…”

The incessant funding of a standing army is in fact un-Constitutional; indeed, the notion of a standing army in of itself is un-Constitutional and in violation of the Framers’ original intent.

here’s the entirety of the clause showing once again you are wrong...

“To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Moneyto that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;

To provide and maintain a Navy;

To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of theland and naval Forces;

To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute theLaws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, theMilitia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Serviceof the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment ofthe Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to thediscipline prescribed by Congress”

It talks about a length of appropriation (two years), but it states nothing about renewing said appropriation. The DoD receives appropriated money every year under which said authority is granted for that year. There are no 5 year budgets, so it falls under the auspices of the Constitution.

You can’t raise & support an army to last only two years. That’s not an effective fighting force. The Founding Fathers were afraid of an occupying force along the lines of the Royal Army, but weren’t gullible to believe there weren’t existential threats to the young country. The Revolutionary War itself lasted eight years, so it would make no sense whatsoever to have a two year Army.
