Off topic but I want a little more info/would like to hear opinions.
I'm totally ignorant/for the most part oblivious when it comes to politics and things of that sort. When it comes to holidays like memorial day and the ones we celebrate in regards to the armed forces what do people mean when they thank them for our freedoms. I'm assuming we are thanking our past soldiers and current ones. Currently what are the armed forces doing in these places exactly and how does it benefit the American citizen?
It's propaganda meant to drive support for foreign intervention and to lionize the American fighting man.
