Trouble is that the cannon fodder then come home alive and vote for someone like Trump or Bush.
And yet America is the rightful heir to what was called Prussian militarism in the last century. It's got nothing to do with nazism to be clear. But it's got everything to do with promoting what we in Austria and Germany call secondary virtues today. Obedience, nationalism, greet the flag, glorifying the army, support the army, no matter what.
These are all the hallmarks of Willhelm's Germany at the turn of the century.
