Let’s hope that jarheads have some common sense.
Wasn’t there some top brass saying during first term that it’s not that clear-cut “obey bitch” if Mango Mussolini says “fire”?

I recently took a critical eye to the lyrics of the USA national anthem and was surprised to realize that it’s basically about killing people all night long and not getting killed yourself.

To be fair, when the poem was written we were getting our asses kicked and survival was not assured.
If you look at the events of the moment, the significant part is the “not getting killed” part.
If things had gone differently, we could all be speaking English today!

To be fair, it wasn’t even adopted as the national anthem until 1931in the middle of decades of nationalism, and hateful “patriotism” designed to force a very specific image of America that is NOT inclusive to others.
Today there are far too many morons who think so many of these oppressive things were instituted by the founders and therefore it should remain as is forever. The same assholes who think some past heyday was “better” than today.
It’s up there with the pledge of allegiance, in god we trust, and various statues and shit.
Fuck these people.
