I suppose, then - and I’m not trying to be cute by pulling a Clinton - that we will need to define “America”.

If by “America” we mean We The People, and the traditions and philosophies that have often flowed from those who crafted our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution, then no, I do not think America is evil.

If, by extension, “America” is a term used to signify our brave and patriotic military combatants, who swore an oath, and mean to keep their oath, to that America, then I also do not think America is evil.

If, however, by “America” one is referring to the corporate Federal government and its recent and increasingly progressive/Marxist administrations, congresses and judiciary, then I think “America” is indeed evil, and that, to me, is what the disclosure of this information shows.

Think about it. Since World War Two, our military has never been allowed to fight in a declared war, nor one that we were allowed to win. The military has not been allowed any total victories, has not been allowed to truly vanquish any foe, has not been allowed to bring an enemy to the point of total, unconditional surrender.

“America,” as so defined, has used our precious military men and women as mere tools of global political or economic masters. They have not died for America, but for a global political and economic elite. We fought North Koreans, Vietnamese, Somalians, Iragis, Afghans and others - did we vanquish any of them, or obtain an unconditional surrender from any of them? Did our military, because of their sacrifices in these conflicts, in any way make our country safer, or increase our standing - economic or otherwise - in the world? Those who died have died for nothing except a quaint, naive idea that is obsolete in the halls of our government, an idea mocked for decades now by the ruling elite when they think no one is lsitening. That progressive, global elite - Dems AND Republicans - if that’s what people refer to when they say “America”, then yes - that America is truly evil.
