if u listen to the National Anthem and immediately think of racist thoughts.....
you're racist.
you're racist.
and now we know why the military is loosening/lowering recruiting standards
if you're triggered by a song, you have serious and deeply held mental and selfesteem issues
Why not change the anthem to America the Beautiful?
tell me more about those that enlist, clearly you're an expert and I have no clue on the matterThe veil of disinformation that helps the American military recruit was doomed to be pierced by the internet age and access to information on the insidious functions of US foreign policy. People will still enlist out of self-interest (acquiring career opportunities and social statuses otherwise unavailable to persons of their accomplishment), but the amount of persons who will enlist because they think the military is some force for good, truth, and freedom will continue to decline as we become a more informed populace.
Also, in terms of psychological issues, people "triggered by a song" > blind nationalists and people who derive personal virtue from enlistment towards nationalist causes. At least the former group seems to actually contemplate their position.
How long until she pushes for Halal meals in all the schools or mandatory hijabs for all girls?
Kids in schools and universities are being taught to hate our society and our history. So many feel we have nothing to be proud of.

I looked up the name of the student body's president and apparently this kid belongs to a pretty political family, most likely Iranian immigrants. I wish immigrants would understand what this country is first before trying to change it to their taste.

It really is not and we have seen many examples of the slippery slope argument come to life over the last 20 years.Oh FFS get out of here with that "slippery slope" argument. It's asinine.

you can think someone is worthless and hilariously weakminded w/o yourself being upset or perturbed....
not sure if serious
no you can'tYou can think a song is worthless, irrelevant, and doesn't deserve to be played before an event without being upset or perturbed....
Not sure if you can see how your own logic applies to others or yourself.

oh wait
lost at 'seems to actually contemplate their position'. Sure, people that enlist DURING ACTIVE WARS (first time in US history an all volunteer military fought one war, none the less two) clearly put no thought into the manner. Well played!
No.
This Land Is Your Land.
That would really make right-wingers rage.
you're making the assumption and creating a strawman that people join the military out of blind nationalism, which is hilarious to me.lol do you not realize the irony in your response.
If there is another group of enlistees other than (1) those who enlist for pragmatic self-interested reasons (economic or social), and (2) those who believe they are serving some benevolent purpose, then what is it?
Huh?
When did we limit the military and blind nationalists to "people that enlist DURING ACTIVE WARS"?
you're making the assumption and creating a strawman that people join the military out of blind nationalism, which is hilarious to me.
where are you getting this from? your own stereotypes?
I am literally a Transition Advisor for the military, i'm telling you flatout you're wrong. Believe what you want tho
