Since this will probably be on the State of the Subs post , I ' ll abuse my mod powers and sticky a plug for Pat McAfee ' s charity . The Pat McAfee Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing scholarship assistance to the sons and daughters of US Military Personnel . <| sep |> Technically , that is what they are both named . However , most people think of USA when United States is mentioned . Most maps AFAIK only call Mexico as Mexico . It ' s rather like a brand name . <| sep |> I have to say that I hated the first book in this series . I didn ' t bother with any of the next books , because I disliked the first one so much . All I remember about it was that it was just a nonstop rant and strawman argument against organized religion . I was just bored to tears trying to trudge through it .
