Imagine being ok with serving on a base named after people who tried to end the country you swore to defend. Oh wait, you don’t have to imagine it. Like 40% of our troops are super into it.

Not just tried to end the country they swore to defend, but that they also swore to defend, then violated that oath and proceeded to kill more members of their army than other opponent in history.
