1. Arrogant soldiers will fail for sure.

Answer

Thanks a lot

Answer

I would also say that - counter-intuitively - using "for sure" makes you sound less certain.  People often use "for sure" to mean "this is my opinion" rather than "this is a fact".

Answer

Hi Kai, the second sentence is far more powerful, but the first sounds more conversational. If you use 'for sure' it sounds as if you are having a chat with a friend (not so serious). I prefer the second sentence as your vocabulary has more impact! Hope that helps!

Answer

Sentence 2 :) The first sounds informal or colloquial.
