The whole “Thank you for your service” shit doesn’t really happen anywhere else in the world. At least not to the weird level that Americans do it. There’s a bizarre glorifcation/worship of the military.
For those of us old enough to remember, this "bizarre" "weird level" "glorification" is a backlash response to the treatment Vietnam Vets received on their return from that war. They were forgotten, shunned, unemployed, unhoused, unaccepted, etc. No one wanted anything to do with these Vets.
Due to Veteran's complaints and civilian guilt, the pendulum just swung the other direction. As pendulums do, they typically swing too far.
Now, your point about the militarization of LEO... Concede that most definitely.
would believe not having studied the most basic of United States history.

As if whatever lessons she may have been exposed to in school were not simply written off as the school personnel trying to "groom her" and/or "fuck up her faith" for their own liberal ends...
Donald Trump said Thursday that it might be better to let Ukraine and Russia “fight for a while” before pulling them apart and pursuing peace, even as Germany’s new chancellor appealed to him as the “key person in the world” who could halt the bloodshed by pressuring Vladimir Putin.
Wow...
Not only TACO, but xferring the blame/responsibility to another schmuck...
Chump and Elonazi suffer from the same delusion: That the federal gov't can/should be run like a business.
I believe Elonazi is well and truly butthurt that he was kicked to the curb without achieving the "hero" status he was so hoping for in his "cost cutting" endeavors. He attempted to "remake" the federal government like he has "remade" businesses he's purchased and failed miserably in the process.
Elonazi's fails were piling heat on Chump, Chump accelerated Elonazi's departure.
Now both, being the reactionary impulsive unrestrained toddlers they are, are throwing their respective tantrums at each other.
Actually, I expect this tantrum phase to escalate for the near future... And I'm here for it and all the glee and schadenfreude it will bring.

Actual education/teaching is under assault in the US from all sides these days... Not certain today's students have any chance. 🙄 🤦♀️ 🖕 💩
