There isn't any nation where the military can just disagree. Even under a military junta, it's only the junta itself that gets a say; everyone lower down must follow orders (even the ones involving atrocities, in that case. The West is weird for exempting something).

That said, yeah, America isn't looking so good these days.

It never did. It was founded on genocide and slavery.

Yes, .ml person. I'm sure you believe that. And also that North Korea is better, somehow. 'Nuff said.

Edit: Clearly, the username is ironic, with this much effort to get into a fight.

I believe in history, lol? Why are you bringing up North Korea?

Is your brain okay?

Edit: clearly this person wasn't interested in a conversation at all, based on my instance, lol?

If you don't believe that both the US and Canada were founded on unspeakable genocide (which inspired the holocaust BTW) and slavery you are delusional. North Korea (for all its faults) was founded by those who resisted and fought the genocidal oppressors. Read a damn book.
