We are taught from childhood that the US is the best country in the world. Think of being raised on extremist nationalism from youth. Think of your education where you are constantly told the United States is altruistic. Then imagine being told to constantly compete against everyone instead of cooperation for the greater good. After that, picture the idea of dropping endless bombs on people is an effective means for liberating people...That's the United States in a nutshell, if a country could be a narcissist, the United States would be it.

Hello Marquis, Your post reminds me of the time when I inquired from a US citizen ( feigning ignorance, on a visit to the US ) why most homes seem to have the flag flying on their lawns , he replied " life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". He didn't like my answer - ' at whose expense ?'.

Every conflict is simplified to terms a 2 year old would understand. We’re the good guys, whomever we drop bombs on is evil. That’s it. Don’t question any of it. We stand for truth, justice, and the American way, end of story. Our foreign policy is written by 6 year olds.

They dumb the public down on purpose then treat them like they're dumb and it works.

Look at society now? Raised on comic book hero's and ghetto granimal cloths like toddlers ... Video games and toys for adults .. All maturity striped out of the culture so they go to the colloseuns to celebrate the "games" emulating war.. How many military fly bys to the oohs and awws of the easily impressed neandertals?

The level of mind control they are under they are completly oblivious to. As long as they have bread and circus.
