Did You watch John Oliver recently? When You get American citizenship, they make You listen to a god awful, pro American song while waving tiny American flags. This shit is so cringy.

The play God Bless the USA when you complete Battlestations at the end of Navy bootcamp. There's a projector and slideshow while everyone is standing in formation, receiving their "Navy" ballcap, officially becoming a sailor.

Looking back... Yeah, it was cringe af.
