Ben Franklin famously thought that the Bald Eagle was a poor choice as the symbol of the USA. He considered the Bald Eagle lazy and of poor moral character, since it preferred to steal prey caught by smaller, more industrious birds. He also considered it cowardly, since it would flee when attacked by much smaller birds.
Franklin thought the Turkey would be a better symbol of the USA.
Given what's been going on over the last few years, I think he may have had a good point.
Seems like everything about American culture and history you have problems with. Always putting down the USA. Why cant you ever say anything positive about the USA and your own people? You are very smug and self righteous
Whats the best part about your country

I'm sure if the US would do better he would. He calls it like he sees it.
Curious who exactly you believe my "own people" are?
