#2 A recent poll says only 18% of young people in the US are "proud of America," so this seems likely.

OTOH, the percentage of them I'm proud of is way lower, so it's a wash, more or less...

#3 So? Adopting an 'edgy' persona is 'cool' in first person shooters.

Also the 'Bad Guys' always seem to have great toys! Games designers often lack information about 'enemy equipment' (reference exaggerated opinions about the WW2 Japanese Zero or the the German Tiger) so those weapons often have unrealistically superior characteristics in game play ...and you can only use the 'cool gun' if you play the 'Baddy Side'.

Sometimes a spade is just a shovel without the overthinking.
