Sure, they love to fly the flag and sing allegiance and support their solders…..whilst they’re in the military.

They have a terrible reputation when it comes to supporting their veterans once discharged from the military.

Beg to differ Mick! It’s coming across clear that you don’t like the Yanks! What do our government do for the veterans? Actually what do they do for the elderly?

Perhaps as Ukraine is not on the US doorstep they should contribute what the Germans and French are doing! I would feel angry if I was a tax payer there!

At least the military in the US can proudly wear their uniforms in civvy street. In good old Britain the military are ordered not to wear uniform in civvy street because they could be abused or get a kicking. I have a family member in the armed forces so know!
