Well, I served in the Army for a while, so America makes me think about that. But it also makes me think about... hope. Strength. Opportunity. ... Rich people taking everything for themselves and not helping the little guys who make all of this even possible in the first place. It's complicated. I think super soldiers with metal arms and kickass Russian assassins sound pretty cool, unless the assassin isn't a good guy (or gal), in which case, I could do without. But it might make a good movie. A round shield would be useful if I was active duty again, sure. Are we talking about the stars in the sky?
