Don_DickleI am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in?
Uh, we have the best military, the best medicine, the best universities, broadest cultural reach… etc.
It’s just that you aren’t getting access to any of it unless you’re part of our social elite. If you’re in the bottom 90% of the economic status, you are only ever going to get access to the middling/average stuff.
You have the most well financed military. Jury’s out on whether it is the best.
By what metric? It’s far better trained and equipped than most any other military, especially elite units.
Unless you’re talking about how the Finnish army whooped us in some exercises, on their home turf in winter, at which their entire nation is super-specialized in? I’m sure if you stuck the Finnish army in Florida for an exercise they’d be the ones whooped.
