    Sure, but I didnt grow up in one of the places they invaded. To the Vietnamese they’re undoubtedly villains, but to a lot of the world they were “the leaders of the free world”. They were Elvis, big cars, burger joints and blues music, they were the flag planted on the moon. Before we had the internet, we experienced it through mainstream media.

    I think you’ve deliberately misunderstood the concept to go on an unnecessary rant about america bad.

      And I think you’ve turned Western Europe into “a lot of the world”. Frankly, my rant wasn’t America bad, but Europeans naive.
