It strikes me as propaganda meant to incite or inflate nationalism for a day or two. That's better than the stuff about Obama that was flying around during the election, but it still bugs me.
But either way.. a lot of men and women made a lot of sacrifices throughout our nation's history and we should never take that for granted.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the entire point of celebrating the 4th to inflate nationalism at least for one day?
