TJATAW

TJATAW

An initialism of "Truth, Justice, and the American Way," referring to a lifestyle characterized by freedom, happiness, and equality. Used as a general description of the ideals of the United States of America. Originally the catchphrase of the comic book hero Superman, signifying what he aspires to represent and protect. I really don't like the dark, gritty reimagining they've done for Superman. If he's not fighting for TJATAW, then he isn't really Superman in my eyes. They believe the purpose of this military intervention is to instill TJATAW in the region, but the natives in that country don't necessarily see it that way.
