Introduction
America has a unique aspect that is really unique on its culture, that is the conmemoration, celebration and congratulation for the people who fought in its wars. this celebration has been going on arguably since the birth of the country and continues to this day, but something has happened, people arent thanking veterans as much as they were doing in the past, what happened that caused this?
the answer is complicated but its because of a variety of reasons, those being:
current unpopularity of the military
people are tired of wars
awkwardness and shyness
