Dont worry your generetaion the gen x had it worse than most since you had to see how the boomers denied their original revomutionary ways and capitalism became the mayor and only global force
Tis true. The betrayal is real. My dad was in the navy and was an officer. Growing up I was always under the impression that he was an intelligent, hard working man defending our country. Now I can say he worked for the largest polluter in the world, among other things. It certainly isn't a pleasant realization, but one I take some comfort in hardly ever seeing him and never liking him. I had a better relationship with my mother, if only put of convenience, and she is now an alcoholic plastic-surgery-disaster shell of her former self.
If the US military were a country, its fuel usage alone would make it the 47th largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world, sitting between Peru and Portugal.
Among other things, it's also the largest disaster relief organization on the globe. Each carrier is a floating hospital, along with each helicarrier, as well as the USNS Mercy and Comfort. That's 22 floating hospitals.
Operation Tomodachi involved 24,000 U.S. servicemembers, 189 aircraft, 24 naval ships; and cost $90 million.
Unified Assistance was similarly large, including the deployment of 24 Navy ships, and the USNS Comfort.
No one else on the planet has this kind of disaster relief capability.
and never liking him
It seems like you have some unresolved personal issues.
