I don’t think that’s true. I’d argue the opposite. Especially given the whole melting pot nature. Whoever the current “enemy” is there always plenty of “them” or people who look like “them” living here which means we get things like internment of Japanese Americans or the harassment of anybody who looks like they could be from the Middle East. There is plenty of patriotism drummed up buts it’s all shallow. Support the troops has more to do with letting your government send them to die wherever they want and less about concern for them.
