I can't begin to express how disappointed I am with where some people are at this time.
So many seems to have ZERO knowledge of the history or spirit of this country!
From coming here in the 17th century...surviving harsh winters, dangerous animals and hostile tribes...

Then forming our own army and resistance to fight #TaxationWithoutRepresentation and the British
The Boston Tea Party not being the least of it.
Our fore fathers showed incredible bravery and love of our emerging country, risking life and limb to build our republic!

Brave and strong men and women then fearlessly pushed west and tamed the wilds with little more than a wagon, a team, and a steely perseverance to tame and settle a wild and dangerous country...many dying of starvation, lawless men, hostile tribes and/or conditions and storms

The pioneer spirit was strong in Americans and we were proud of that!
Then, sadly....the Civil War broke out and brother was pitted against brother as #CorruptDemocrats atrove to hang on to their slaves (and other things) but our great country overcame that and we united again

Still, the spirit, courage and bravery of the American spirit persevered .
Fast forward to the end of WWII and the creation of welfare....for war widows and their kids, and the beginning of the welfare state and lazy people with a sense of entitlement was born.

Finally catching on the the Military Industrial Complex many Americans protested Vietnam but still, brave men and women did what they thought was their duty and fought for their country...and were slurred and spit on for it when it should have been directed towards the gvmt

(Thanks @Ilhan 🤬)
There was a resurgence in the American spirit.
#PatriotsUnited & wanted to protect this country but a new element reared its ugly head.
Boot camp was too mean, DI's too hard on them...they weeded out the wheat from the chaff

We said we'd Never Forget

But....how short our memories are, how xrap our institutions of learning, how negligent parents roles in teaching history, very recent history, to our kids.
And now we have this...

Boys and Girls (yes, I just assumed your genders) who refuse to stand up and protect what so many of their forefathers and foremothers have fought, bled, and died to protect and five them and want everything handed to them.

How did we go from this...

To this?😳

I'm ranting...i know, but I am so sick of applauding mediocrity & the people who think even the losers need an award, thus creating babies who never aspire to do better, watching grown men & women meltdown over .01% of the population and supporting FOREIGN ideals in US gvmt
