I’ve had your beer while in your country. Much respect and all given the history and contributions to beer over all, but after a week…it got boring.

I’m happy to be a peasant with never ending variety of styles and variations within styles without being hamstrung by some unimaginative and restrictive laws.

Yet. Give it time. Kyiv and Taipei might be craters before the decade is out.

I do when a Google search leads me to a thread, but I don’t have an account. I don’t keep browsing like I used to. I’m also both annoyed and happy to see replies to threads deleted or replaced with goodbye phrases.

To answer your question, in my opinion, probably none. We’ve definitely been involved in conflicts that have furthered or protected America’s interests, which in theory as citizens, we benefited from.

I would think that veterans and current service members deserve respect/gratitude for acting as a deterrent against external hostile entities that otherwise might be interested in ruining your day to day existence. They do jobs that I personally don’t want to do and I’m thankful they’re there and willing to do it. Have a safe and happy Independence Day!
