Even setting aside the possibility that she couldn't protest Jim Crow for some reason, what about Iraq? The Patriot Act? Not a big deal/not serious enough to protest?

We could even get more recent than that. What about Palestine? The US doesn't need to send taxpayer money for the Zionist entity to keep committing atrocities there.

Given the sign's contents though, whichever war her "late veteran husband" was fighting in wasn't enough to protest either?

To be fair she is old enough that her husband might have fought the one justifiable conflict the US was ever involved in. But that also means he probably did warcrimes in Korea like my grandfather so yeah...

unless the husband was like ten years older than her, he likely did war crimes in korea

unless the husband was like ten years older than her

Fairly likely in the 40s

on another note, i'm looking forward to the US very soon losing its spot as the global cultural superpower, and the west having to watch schlock chinese war movies about the war in korea where they are the heroes and the americans the villains
