I have often joked that the propaganda the US uses about its military, has them thinking they are joining G.I Joe, when in fact it is Cobra. The idea of serving a country is strange. Countries don't really exist. You are serving the state and their machinations. There is this concept that the United States needs to be pro active and take preemptive action to protect its boarders. Hence the lie that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. The lie that Russia and China are physical threats to us here at home. The US government never mentions anything good about either country or its people. That the isolation and ignorance makes them all that more easier to control. Patriotism is idiocy because it is merely blind loyalty to the government that creates this immoral service.
