Better equipped than I am now? You assume to know quite a bit about me from a simple sentence.

  Not at all, and no assumption is required; from the sentence in question, I conclude merely that you don't know what "an incredibly militaristic society" looks like. Otherwise, you wouldn't have mistaken the United States in 2013 for anything of the sort.

    Maybe we don't all go around wearing uniforms or worshipping the emperor, but our police is becoming more militarized, and we definitely are people who celebrate war. Finding me "risible" based on a harmless observation probably means you are quite emotional on the topic so I'm not inclined to respond to you any more.

      It was (and is) the observation I found risible, not the person who made it. And of course we celebrate war! Who, having examined the public reaction to our recent outings in Afghanistan and Iraq, could possibly draw any other conclusion?
