Using your logic, it's theoretically possible that you are a bank robber. I mean, it's not impossible, and therefore it is possible. You can't prove that you're not a bank robber, can you? She loves this country as much as anyone. She loves our military as much as anyone. Don't make her defend that. That is not fair. What she means is the same as when I say I love my family, but is it possible or likely that some members of my extended family may drink too much and do something not right. And if someone made some accusations about my family that they might have done something wrong with respect to alcohol abuse, should our family circle the wagon and deny any possibilities of wrong doing? Knowing my family, (we don't have any bank robbers I am aware of), some members may need assistance to get their acts together. Do I love my family? Absolutely. Would I put my life on the line for them? Absolutely. Could some possibly get into trouble? I hope not, but if they do, I will do everything I can to help.

You can't prove that you're not a bank robber, can you? Nope. If I were accused of being one, I would not expect supporters to chime in that I absolutely, positively hadn't robbed any bank. That's silly--so illogical that even I would argue against them. The most they could reasonably assert was that there was no evidence of it, that the accusation was unacceptable without proof, and that, knowing me, they believed it to be most unlikely because of this, that, or the other thing. Only I can assert absolutely, positively that I am not a bank robber. BTW, I have never robbed a bank.
