The whole "thank you for your service" bullshit I see on TV anytime anyone meets a troop is the most gag inducing poo poo I've ever seen.

I’ve always found it weird that there’s a lot of young Jewish American men who get a massive rager at the thought of going over Israel to join the IDF, like our government isn’t hard enough on poor middle easterns or something.

Speaking as a Jew, I saw this happen to one of the friends I went to Hebrew School with. I think a lot of it comes down to propaganda being blasted at you all the time, like in Hebrew School we only learned about Poor Plucky Liddle Israel getting warred on by all its mean neighbors and whatnot. Plus you have things like Birthright Israel where they give free trips to Jewish kids (including a free dose of even more propaganda, I'm sure).
