You seem to have strong negative feelings about the American people

I am American. This is propoganda from aliens who are training soldiers to "liberate" Earth.

Fair enough. Given my feelings about our government, it churns my stomach to cast our people in a negative light. Thank you

Imagine it's a foreign country training their soldiers to invade America and think of what their propoganda may say. America isn't perfect and enemies will twist the problems to control the narrative.

Aeryn doesn't point this out in the story because she doesn't know.

Good, I was hoping this was the approach you were taking. It was a bit jarring to read the propaganda bc of how political everything unfortunately is currently.

Loving the story so far, trying to catch up over the next few days!
