You are evading the point. Concede, and move on.

One of my favorite bad-faith debate tactics I often hear is: "why do you refuse to answer the question?"

It CAN be a bad faith tactic in debate. Typically it requires something like a simple Yes/No on a broad or complex question.

In this case however, in the sense of the infrastructure (the correct word) of the US military, you are quibbling, because you dont like my argument. You are attempting to dismiss it by objecting to the use of the word “infrastructure”. That is dirty pool.
