Be American
Largest and most advanced empire the world has ever seen, with bases spread all across the globe
A trillion a year spent exclusively on "national security"
Never less than three different wars going on at any given time
Crisis of PTSD, drug abuse, and homelessness from all the veterans coming back home and washing out every year
Next election may decide whether we invade our southern neighbor, just for shits and giggles
Read a guy who posts cringe shit online

"Ugh, I hate all these tankies".
