IMO, kids are not taught to respect those who died for us.
That would imply that fighting to maintain a nation as vile as ours was worth defending, and that our brand of freedom is better than any other nation’s brand of freedom. Why don’t you know, Hanoi has a good a system as we do.
I don’t agree with that in any way shape or form, but that’s pretty much what is going on these days.
Just so, and we both could probably go on at length about the reasons why it has come to that...
