minus-square☂️-@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-225 days agobecause calling them “american” implies the USA is the entire continent. i cant really call myself an american, even though i am. they stole the word to mean “them” like the rest of the continent doesnt matter. also in my country we call it “estadunidense”, which roughly translates to “usian”.
not only usian veterans, but predominantly them.
