The former governor of California and Hollywood actor Arnold Schwarzenegger says that Americans are simply not patriotic enough. In fact, the Austrian-born actor recently voiced his frustrations with the lack of patriotism that he is seeing in America in a short clip that he filmed that showed him calling for more support for military veterans. Here’s what he has to say.
The 73-year-old filmed himself during a visit to Los Angeles National Cemetery on Veterans Day. Schwarzenegger says that he makes the trip every year but was disappointed to see very few Americans visiting the graves of American heroes who have fallen during times of need.
Arnold Schwarzenegger Voices His Frustrations With The Lack Of Patriotism In America
“I was kind of upset. You have to understand it doesn’t make any sense that in this cemetery, where there are almost 100,000 people buried – veterans – that there are only like, 20 people walking around,” Schwarzenegger said in his Instagram caption. “Think about that. I mean, 20 people for almost 100,000 veterans that are buried there. But then 20,000 or so will go to a political rally where someone promises to make America great.”
While Schwarzenegger did not name any names, some believe that he might have made a little jab towards President Donald Trump and his supporters during his video message.
“No one else!” he continued. “So I hope that next year when I go back to that cemetery that I will see you 20,000 that are so patriotic. I hope I see you there. I think it’s a discussion that we should have: the definition of patriotism. Let’s talk about it.”
The actor went on to thank the “brave men and women” for making America “the freest country in the world.”
