Amen
Trump is terrible but making US army vets lose pride in their country is a good thing for almost everyone on earth
what.
US bad!
US army certainly bad.
Aw, the storm trooper feels bad about serving in the empire’s army! 💅
People join when they’re 17 and only stay in for 4-8 years usually.
The only veterans I respect are the ones that become anti-US by the time they get out.
If they’re wishing for the good ol’ days when they could be proud of the US, fuck em.
A lot of them are really brainwashed about it. But at least they have real beleifs, plus if you say “thank you for your service” they’ll vote for you.
Great, lemmy.ml is here.
The people that did the dirty work for the people that made (or kept really) the country shit want to be proud (again?). Lots to unpack there. Being proud of a country, especially the US, is weird to begin with.
One can be proud of the country they live in just like they can be disappointed in it.
No one should be proud of the US.
They should probably be disappointed.
Nationalism is creepy, regardless of reason/justification
