When did we become a nation of wusses?

I mean.. Was USA ever known as a nation of brave men in the first place? Your population is mostly made up of ex slaves and people escaping from Europe because of one reason or another. One of the most common characteristics of US history is isolationism. The current most driving factor of Americans are fear. USA is many things but I would not say "Brave" has ever been your thing.

You are wrong Swedish man. Ambition is one of the most driving characteristics of the USA. Why did people "escape" from Europe in the first place? Because Europe was ruled by a bunch of raggedy and despotic Kings and Queens. We put the Japanese and the Germans in their place ba k in WWII. The Swedes on the other hand bent over backwards for Adolf. Many brave Americans died on the shores and towns of Europe to help you guys get rid of Adolf. Say what you want but at the end of the day the US is still in top ( even if the younger generations have all turned into little pu@#@#ies).

Anyhow , have fun watching all those Middle Eastern and African immigrants take your nice , white , blonde , nordic women away.

Ambition tends to be risk-averse. Searching for and choosing the easy option rather than the hard and difficult one. Just like cowardice. The ambitious coward is thus a very common stereotype both in real life and in stories. Not to say that Americans are that ambitious either when the country is full of sheep. The fact that you have not had a proper overthrow of the elites when they are screwing you so badly is not doing you many favors in showing how willing you people are to stand up against injustice.

Its also funny how you bring up WW2 when America pretty much only functioned as a gun salesman and side-show. All things considered USA did not do that much fighting in Europe compared to the Soviet Union as an example. The fact that Americans still goes on as if they are gods gift to mankind and how they single-handedly rode in (late) to Europe and kicked Hitler in the balls is getting old.

Your role in WW2 was selling weapons and getting rich off of Europes suffering. Congratulations. Shame you became so entitled and starting to bitch now when the money has run out and you can't stand going back to living like normal.

Kids of the WWII generation. Baby Boomers I think. They were immersed in Rogerian Self psychology ( 🤳) and driven to achieve. They, as adults, did not monitor country the way Elders did…gave up public schools creating plethora of private schools etc…that’s the Vietnam era. Money first…

Easy and convenient life like we have in the U. S. and western civilization produces a lack of resolve and grit and we find little insignificant things to complain about which in turn makes us soft in time.

A life of struggle is what produces strength if you fight through it.

When it became more profitable in the short term for single mothers to raise sons without a father.

[ImJustSomeGuyLol]

Probably when the boomers gave millenials and Gen Z participation awards 😂

[OldWorldOrder]

It started when women were given the vote here, and the change became irreversible after WW2 when America got comfortable with her privileged economic position and became utterly spoiled.

[Iron_Man]

This man wouldn’t like that

[Texaskid1]

True.

But this man is already with Jesus. What would he say if he still walked among us?

[Iron_Man]

He would be absolutely disgusted

[Texaskid1]

Sad but true.

[Iron_Man]

Right

[TommyMountainFigure]

Your country became wussies when you got overrun by do-gooders. Mine did too!

[jshm2]

Since you were born.

They've have to apologise, and lower neck, ever since.

That is oddly specific 😂

[Texaskid1]

Hmmm... are you some sort of time traveler?

[exitseven]

I think it started during the Vietnam Era.
