alt Hacker News> what are American soldiers dying for?
The American way of life, which is still the most preferred way of life, as evidenced by (a) people wanting to emigrate here more than any other country in the world and (b) more people immigrating here than any other country.

Name one conflict we’ve been in since WW2 that protected the “American way of life”

you actually believe this? that American soldiers dying in Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam, etc., were actually preserving the "American way of life" (whatever that means)??
And if it were true (which it isn't), if enjoying the "American way of life" requires killing people in other countries, then it's probably not a very good way of life.

It's your argument that our current and recent engagements in Venezuela, Iran, and soon Cuba, are to defend the American way of life?
