Colonel Carey has gone to great lengths to provide insight on the just cause of invading, using force against, liberating foreign nations. At the behest of the best of the U.S., this is an auspicious endeavor. No doubt some will use the moment to criticize the Colonel's respect for life! They might say that sacrificing many innocent Canadian lives, or Mexican lives, showcases a plain disregard for life. This intends to point out that the desire for liberation and saving life is false because there is no regard for life. This criticism is based on a false premise. Liberating nations that choose to behave tyrannically, to subjugate their citizens, targeting only those inferior people but in the crossfire incidentally and tragically killing innocents is different from the wanton taking of human life. It is inherently separate from engaging in forceful affairs because of a genuine and forgivable mistake, or some act of nature that caused it.

I'll make it clear that I would find I very much support Colonel Carey's argument in the book, the one regarding Manifest Destiny. I would urge being cautious of the approach, and ensuring we clearly articulate the level of forgiveness we have to the Canadians who do evil but don't know what they do, in separation from the ones who step far beyond the boundaries of justice and act willingly in disobedience from God. My embodiment of opposing arguments is to dismantle them.

I notice from Carey's other writings that he is a libertarian, or a conservative. He's likely in support of pro life and being against the principle of abortion, because of the inherent value of human life, which is at the center of much of his work. Supposing this is true for the sake of the argument–or using the example of any person being in favor of it for that sake–the opposition would try something like the following. This chain of attack is used to embody various objections having to do with the sanctity of life.

The individual would state that if you are not in favor of terminating an innocent human life, an unborn baby, no matter how much that mother may find her an inconvenience, this shows a palpable regard for human life not embodied in the disdain for Canada's subjugation and subsequent liberation with potential for innocent, tragic casualties.
