Thing is , I am not going to be ashamed women are going to be perved on and blackmailed over this . My people don ' t pay attention until it is upon them then riot in the streets . We are always swinging forward and back . A bunch will start demanding online privacy for the first time over the next few years . <| sep |> I actually think its been ramped up A LOT post 911 . Largely due to the increased sense of fighting an enemy that has attacked America , plus the rise of socialmedia and 24 hour news cycles . The first conflict with Iraq really laid the seeds for the whole glorification thing though . I think Vietnam and the Cold War shenanigans had knocked the image of the American military back a few steps . Largely because there was a more cloak and dagger approach laid out to the general public . Desert Storm was the first time you saw America totally kicking someone ' s ass on a global stage since the Second World War .
