Who said he's an 'intellectual giant'??? Actually you are being deliberately mischievous here. He didn't say 'Marine Corpse' he said 'corpsman'. How are you supposed to pronounce it? 'Korman'? I don't think corpsman is even a real word, and if it is I'm sure most Americans would pronounce it the way Obama did.
And by the way, that's not 'miss chee vee iss'.
Just playing to your strengths so you get to play your part. Invalidation rather than exposition is your milieu. The principle and implications remain the same. He’s a dimwit.
'Rebuttal instead of explanation is your environment'. Nope. Still doesn't make any sense. How much 'explanation' do you need for such a triviality? I thought I gave you more than enough.
Oops. You did ask a question.
- It’s pronounced, “Core-Man.”
- It is not pronounced, “Corpse Man.”
- To call a living member of the military a “Corpse Man,” is to imply that he will soon be dead.
- Given that military service also implies life and death situations, for the commander-in-chief of all American military service members, to reference a living American service-person as a “Corpse,” well, within the propriety found within multi-levels of comprehension, this is inappropriate.
- Many adult human beings from the planet earth understand this without being led by the nose.
- Then there is the matter of pronunciation itself.
- Adult Americans who are not sleepwalking, also know how to pronounce the word. And, they do not even hold the lives of the corpsmen in their hands.
- If anyone did call him an intellectual giant, well they would just be wrong, wouldn’t they.
