O/T:- Betting odds for US Election [The USA Politics Thread]

[Lullapie]

Is that pride in flying the US flag, or derision for the rest of the world who are nowhere near as mighty as the USA? Patriotism and xenophopia are closer than you might think, especially among Trump supporters. Regarding letting servicemen on a plane first, I'd rather let doctors and nurses on the plane first.

Actually, I usually let anyone on the plane first. Your seat is booked, why would you want to sit on a plane any longer than you have to!

You need to go to America. Since the Vietnam debacle they generally look after all their former public servants really well. As the US has a very limited healthcare system, nurses and doctors are normally in private employment and paid really well.

There lies the problem with looking at the US with limited outside eyes.
