<"Begging the question" - The truth of the conclusion is assumed by the premises.

BTW, our forces are the best trained in the world.>

This is an ironic juxtaposition of lines. Is there any source I could give you that would lead you to change your belief in the truth of your assumption vis-a-vis our troops' training? How about, for a change, you find a link (you rarely provide any).

All you offer is an opinion, which is apparently true (absolutely) to you. Go ahead, prove your assumption with a link showing the relative training of our troops deployed abroad compared to 10 to 20 years ago has improved.
