How the Pentagon wants to cancel Thanksgiving and teach
military kids that America is 'stolen land'
Guides for military school teachers say Thanksgiving is
based on faleshoods
Researcher says it's 'perverse' to teach this to the kids
of Americans in uniform
. . .
Hmmm ... what would it cost to transport the Pentagon,
brick by brick, to China ? :-)
Was America "stolen" ? Depends of defs. "Conquest"
was long presumed to be justification in an of
itself - EVEN AMONGST THE NATIVE POP.
Oh, and we didn't "steal" everything - at least
not initially. Goods/money WERE exchanged for land.
LATER ... well ... let's say treaties only existed
when they were of benefit to the new USA - but
that treachery is another issue. IMHO certain
political compensation may be warranted for the
native pop.
"Thanksgiving" DID happen. It was a valid attempt
at co-existence. Reportedly the milk-based and
alcohol products did NOT go down well with the
natives ... they thought the settlers had
poisoned them. Didn't help things - but the
INTENT was pure.
What's disturbing here is that some Pentagon
people are just SO ideologically extreme,
so WokieCom, that they have no problem with
gross historical revisionism and anti-Americanism.
Such people are NOT our "defense" ...
