That amuses me, to be honest. That's so 'politically correct'.
The objection here is that for 'big victory' I'm using the term cake-walk?
Jeez, even here on FR we're PC to the max.
Er...ahem.
No, that is NOT Politically Correct language.
It is just, plain and simply wrong. As I said, your rhetoric is flawed. I am trying to help you out here.
If someone is killed by having holes drilled in their head, and someone else is killed by being decapitated, does that make the experience of the decapitation victim a "Cake Walk"? No, it doesn't, any more than seeing one of your buddies blown to smithereens by an IED is a cake walk compared to seeing 20 of your buddies blown to pieces by a direct hit from an artillery shell.
MY life is a cake walk compared to someone in combat.
The flaw in your rhetoric is that you think "Cake Walk" is a completely relative term like "better". It is not. I will grant you that a veteran of combat in Tarawa may have thought fighting the Germans in France was a "Cake Walk", but it is his right to make that characterization. Veterans of the European theater would have every right to disagree, and it would be their right to do so.
Good gosh. Why am I having this discussion?
