Now, there has to be something about a country that inspires such loyalty.
I won't even try to respond to the link between American corporations and the Nazi concentration camps. I feel dirty just reading that. |
IBM made the death-tally machines for the concentration camps.

Coca-cola made Fanta for the Nazi troops/populace because they couldn't rightly sell Coca-cola to the allied forces and the nazi's at the same time -- bad image.

The history of corporatism and capitalism is built upon the corpses of the common man. Wars are profit-incentive-operations for big business, have been since year dot.
Your code-talkers after they 'served their country' returned to reservations plagued with alcoholic abuse, high suicide rates and domestic abuse, they never, not one of them, recieved their GI bill like other soldiers. - land of the free indeed (if you're white and middle-class of course).
Don't get me into an argument about patriotism, it's easy to debunk patriotism with a few simple facts. And don't get me started on WWII where I lost a good few of my family who served in the military, and they died a long time before any 'American' involvement in that war.
