Thank you for your service first and foremost. With that said, the US is no longer the greatest country.. That ended in the 50's/early 60's. With Trillions upon trillions in deficit, China basically owning us, having our companies go to foreign soil to reap financial benefit, political figures in high office being slobs, hypocrites, and racists, having the common person being a complete moron who would rather watch a Kardashian episode than learn about current affairs, no one showing up to vote, the younger generation failing miserably at every turn including education, PE, socialization, current affairs, morals, work ethic and respect in general, this country is in a mess. Our health system is a JOKE, homelessness at an all time high, diabetes, opiate addiction, blah blah blah.
Ive traveled the world several times over and seen MANY different cultures. Yes there are some VERY bad ones, but there are some better. It just rubs me when people say AMERICA is #1.. Are we? Or are you just propagating and regurgitating what someone else gave you in the form of Kool Aid? We are a great country when it comes to freedom of speech, and the ability to succeed if you work hard ( interpreted as get over on others and twist the system) but morally, common sensibly, we are retarded as they come. Bring on the flaming. This is simply my opinion and it wouldn't be the first time I'm wrong or ruffle feathers but our political system has become a circus. We are just simple metal detectors. Dorks and losers by the untrained eye... Mostly retired people who enjoy a hobby of introversion. We clean up other peoples messes on the routine, and in doing so we look for the gold.
True we don't get executed on the spot for going to a bath house with a stay at home order or get lynched for being gay or hung for littering or fingers cut off for shoplifting but we have big brother watching, IRS stealing everything we make, politicians in it for themselves. Teachers making 35k a yr and average ball players making millions. Teens making millions on Youtube while Nobel Prize winners make nothing.. Everything is messed up. Not just the US. France has a WAY better health system than us. As does Sweden, Canada and even Equador... Things aren't changing for the better my friend.
