Yep... it's always "our country" this and "our country" that when they need you to play cannon fodder - and when it's all over, it just goes straight back to being their country. No different than rich people telling us how we're "all in this together" during COVID.
It's cute how they tell everyone we can just go vote to have a lot of influence on things too. :)
