Far too many Americans are obese from $1 double cheeseburgers while they are lucky to eat "foot bread" if you know what that is.
Too many of us would rather discuss a slut ass celebrity that did a line off a quarterbacks dick than help our children with homework.
We'd rather text someone in the same room as us than be respectful and look each other in the face while talking.
Another viewpoint from being there and working with ANA/ANP/Commandos myself. They are still a very primative group of people. There are only a handful of paths they can choose in life. Skilled trades, farmers, shop keeper. .... And if daddy was a farmer and you dont want to be a farmer, tough shit.
It even saddens me to say that other NATO forces hate us just as much. 3 months in RC North with Germany, Italy, France, And Canada. We look the same to them as well. I hope this next rotation goes ok, crewing a blackhawk with 11 ANA isn't helping me sleep at night.
