It's a sad irony where the most privileged and protected people (hn crowd) attack the people, institutions, and traditions (us govt, military) that made possible the peaceful and abundant world they take for granted.

I'm Eu, and very grateful to the US, and the military wing of the US, for the peace we've had - and take for granted. But, things change. And the US has shown itself to be unreliable, and vindictive, too.
