In reply to the discussion: America's military reckoning: It's time to stop the ritualistic fawning over veterans [View all]Baked Potato
(7,733 posts)One by one, American virtues and values have been laid bare to the fact there are good people and bad people in every corner of the earth.
Trump has finished the job all of our adversaries have started. Trump has politicized every institution that used to function way better with politics put aside.
Be it military, or police, or fire, or doctors, or nurses, or any frickin where, now that those institutions arent apolitical its going to be hard as hell to get together on anything.
There are incredibly brave Americans in all walks of life, of all political persuasions. The Ritualistic fawning of military functions to give comfort and motivation to the folks who worked tirelessly around the world to protect us from the likes of Putin.
To single out a few sycophants who happen to be in uniform or used to be in uniform and declare we shouldnt fawn over them is a DUH moment, for me.
Trump has tainted everything, however he hasnt tainted Americans hearts and minds. We know who to fawn over and who not to. Yawn on this article.
