Are you not American? I've never heard an American talk of his country that way.
I am an American. Get used to the rhetoric. Washington DC is the enemy of heritage Americans. You will be where I am in due time though.
“Are you not American? I’ve never heard an American talk of his country that way.”
You posed that question to DarkSavant.
I’ve heard American citizens talk of the US that way: Especially during the Vietnam War, which was when I served. And those “American citizens” treated us like crap. And they haven’t changed. They were anti-American leftists then and they are anti-American leftists today, even if they claim to be otherwise.
