Thanks For The Clarification.

However, I'm sure you are aware that not everyone in " The United States of America " support " your " position, and may not appreciate that blanket approach to policy analysis?

Many, if not most here, use the third person or object to deal with analysis. IE: The current administration , the president , the military , the opposition party ( Democrats in this case )…etc..etc…..

To state “ we “ and “ us “ and “ our “ assumes there is a unanimity and the actions and policy are one, yet , as we have witnessed, there are differences of opinion even within the current administration. So the use of those terms may be erroneous and insulting to those Americans who may not agree with you, whatever position you may take.

Not trying to be picky here , but thought you might like to be reminded of the appropriateness of your choice of those possessive forms when projecting your position(s).

F.Y.I.
