It's a militaristic society through and through, anyone who lives here and observes the absolute reverence of all things military by the vast majority of americans can see this. And that reverence permeates everything. We gaze in wide wonder at how the so-called 4th estate toed the line so easily in the run-up to the Iraq war, but really, it's this way with every war. Americans absolutely love their wars.
As long as they win them, they don't cost too much money and someone else's kids get killed. "C'est un scandale !"
