Imperial boomerang is used constantly in my media world. It happens slowly, while we are wide awake.
I still encounter too many who defend this way of viewing things. They ignore our bloated military budget - declare it's unrelated - and harp about the undeserving taking more than they're worth. It's heartbreaking and challenges one's ability to give a heck but I stand tall.
Back to back people talking to me with that viewpoint. The military is totally unrelated somehow.
I hear we give too much money to other countries but Israel is ok. I don't understand.
Its American exceptionalism through and through. We are conditioned to view the military as justified and soldiers as heros. Meanwhile our military is used to terrify the world and hold them into submission.
And we didn’t always have a “standing army”. Such a thing used to be weird and now it’s normal. Who needs a professional army - for what enemy? Armies are for emergencies only.

Thanks for this.
I appreciate you!
