Memorial Days needing some Communism-esque
Assuming all individuals upon enlisting into the Armed Forces had full intention of patriotism- not of selfish reasons. John Smith, born in 1923, enlisted into the Marine Corp. in the summer of 1940 to escape a portion of his credit debt and tax fraud. The pulling of the trigger to kill a Japanese soldier was done out of obligation between himself and the governmental contract he had signed, not of the protection of civil liberties vested in the American public as a whole. If the contracts are the true memorials, then we should be more upfront about it instead of applying this loose, ambiguous respect with hats off and eyes glossy for the sake of it in order to physically show said respect.
Respect expressed on this day is closer to a mockery of the individuals who were slaughtered, not for the name of OUR freedoms, but for idealism and American society as propaganda (i.e. the American Dream). If one wished to show their respect to the citizens of the dead, they would logically and responsibly have them in mind with every decision made in their daily lives: to show they are accurately using their RIGHTS the "right" way as the millions of citizens intended. In which case, this respect for the sake of appearance is nothing but a facade to the society to paint themselves as moral or humble. There's no altruism in this because true altruism doesn't exist-
Soldiers dying for the freedoms of America would only be possible if they lacked the logical capacity for self sustaining (selfish) behavior. Choosing to go to the barracks to make sure the it's safe or have a meal is a choice that he may be faced with; and the former would have to be made every time even though he didn't eat a single meal today; therefore lacking in nutritional stability and more likely to make poorer decisions henceforth. If one then argues that him choosing the meal was to evade the possibility of passing out or losing points on his logical decisions then he didn't protect his comrades in the barracks that night; instead banked on the assumption that the longterm protection of citizen's rights were to be most benefited by the future instances of his need to that meal over the likelihood of his barracks being sabotaged by the enemy.
If this is all superfluous and it's merely the signing of the government contract without any of the self's intentions in mind, then we as citizens must recognize that and admit it to ourselves instead of diluting the ambiguity with this prideful American respect for the dead.
LOL JUST KIDDING LOVE YOU.
Neither of you will read this but I just wanted to vent my inner frustration or is it anti-american persona.,,, or is it rebellious nature to prove to myself that I can do it for myself? Or is it my inability to appropriately go through the motions of America's societal expectations and give that salute and and that hat off and that glossy eye with mind focusing on the graves with the american flag soaring?
Who knows hahahahahaha
