this response IMO cherry-picks a single line, which is easily setup with an "appeal to USA flag-waving nationalism" rebuttal. Clearly capped off with a "love it or leave it" literally.. not intellectually honest in addressing the real point here, which is perhaps "young people have serious daily life and future adult life" problems which have nothing to do with Great-Powers, Great-Games manipulation. Similar discussions could have been had for three millenia of nationalistic warfare, and I side firmly with the parent post myself, empathy towards the young adults in the USA, not flag-waving "you people need to honor the flag that gave you all of THIS" type stuff
