    I mean sure, if you look at the average citizenry. But if you look at the goals, it’s no surprise you are disappointed.

    I’m a (non-combat, undeployed, medically discharged) veteran, and tbh I regretted it within a few years of joining up because I realized a lot of things. And it’s really the same thing as civic participation. We are sold a myth, and over time realize the truth is that the people we have to pick from don’t share the same ideals we were led to believe they would have.

    So I totally agree with you, but our current crop are, indeed, unAmerican regardless of what the population has been led to believe is totally fine.
