Let $\overrightarrow{a} = 2\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}$,and $\overrightarrow{b}$ and $\overrightarrow{c}$ be two nonzero vectors such that $|\vec{a} + \vec{b} + \vec{c}| = |\vec{a} + \vec{b} - \vec{c}|$ and $\vec{b} \cdot \vec{c} = 0$. Consider the following two statements:
$(A)$ $|\overrightarrow{a} + \lambda \overrightarrow{c}| \geq |\overrightarrow{a}|$ for all $\lambda \in R$.
$(B)$ $\overrightarrow{a}$ and $\overrightarrow{c}$ are always parallel.
