I know a millennial who self identified as a hippie. She grew up poor and had family living in Native American Reservations so she had a vocal distrust of the US government and the military. But then when her husband joined the military for the money now she’s making American Flag crafts that say things like “proud Navy Wife” and it was shocking to see her change her mind so quickly
