Aprašymas

Do you wonder why we obsess about the dire need to address systemic racism and wars to nowhere, yet nothing ever really changes? When you go to the ballot box hoping to force a change, are you frustrated by the lack of good choices? The answers to these dilemmas as well as viable options demand your attention. Patriotic Illusions shatters twelve common misconceptions regarding racism, military service, warfare, the American dream, and leadership. This book demonstrates how our notions of national greatness, blind faith in our leaders, and unconditional love of country have resulted in the cultural crisis unfolding before our eyes. It leverages relevant historical examples and entertaining personal vignettes from thirty years of uniformed service to shed a light on the need for reform. Every chapter presents and exposes a unique problem and offers creative solutions which you have likely never considered. Buckle up for a roller coaster ride which will make you both laugh and squirm and will most assuredly change the way you view America. It is a call to action for true Patriots-those with the courage to demand change!
