So we should be ashamed of honoring and displaying out military during a national holiday for something our military helped us achieve? A couple Bradley APCs and some fly-overs are enough to trigger the shit out of you? FFS I remember when I was in scouts we used to go to Andrews AFB where they've have the blue angels and other military vehicles for the kids to check out. Is being proud of one's nation's ability to defend itself shameful? Just come out with it already, people like you are anti-American because you're not us.



That man should not be free for wearing that horrible Budweiser outfit.

Cant hate the usa

you can't be a proud american without tanks rolling through your streets? maybe look at your budget, look at the fact that you don't have healthcare, affordable college, clean drinking water, worker protection... if you really need a reminder that you have a massive military.
that obsession with military stuff and childish overcompensating is just exposing your fragile masculinity - and that's coming from someone who actually served in the military...

Im pretty sure getting dishonorably discharged for being a cuck doesn't count.

are you speaking from experience, or are you fantasising about me? weird either way...

The fact of the matter is anything, anything, ANYTHING positive about the US and people like you lose your shit. You're just a hater who gets their panties in a bunch when you realize not everyone shares your blind disdain for the US. A couple APCs, some fly-overs, and some historical dialogue about the nation's military during a national holiday, BOOM, (in Forrest Gump voice) and just like that, we're a dystopian police state.

As for your other points, I have healthcare, I paid for my own college, and there's plenty of drinking water here (you're clearly misinformed about the Flint, Michigan water debacle if that's what you're implying). I am by no means the bar for which everything should be measured here and it's no utopia, but you act like it's a dystopian world here and it's simply not true. Again, just negativity, how dare anyone like their own country.

Tbh I think the vehicles and air shows were kinda corny, but it was harmless. What I really liked was the historical stuff on the services, like the bit about the Coast Guard. Many people in this country are sadly ignorant of stuff like that.

you sound like a poor little fox propaganda victim. the slightest criticism of anything that happens in america and you completely lose it, you unleash your strawman army, you simply dismiss actual systemic problems by pointing to anecdotal evidence, as if that refuted anything, and try to downplay and outright deny issues that might not directly affect you personally.

how ignorant do you have to be to blindly defend everything your country does without even thinking about it, let alone critically reflecting on issues, just because you feel it makes your emperor look bad? you're basically like ghot, maybe a couple of years younger...

oh, and if you really think that intelligent people from western / northern europe look at america with envy, you (unsurprisingly) don't know the first thing about the world outside your little bubble. i live in a country that is healthier, wealthier, happier, fairer, safer, and more free than yours. i know that when you lot run out of arguments, you resort to that little 'they hate us 'coz they ain't us' talking point, but that couldn't be further from the truth. with all the problems we have (and unlike you, i have a healthy relationship towards my country and can still love it while also acknowledging its flaws), i am glad i live in a country that still cares about their people (i know, we're just one policy away from communism and starving - at least in your simplistic worldview), and not just puppets of the donor class that determine your lives...
