Brian, I am with you. We are subjected to so very much propaganda, and I cannot help but wonder what hidden agendas are at work.
Living in central San Antonio [seven melitary bases, depending upon how you count, maybe 10-15], I cannot help but think that should somebody set out to do some serious damage to the 'homeland' it should be here.
I just can't get real exercised about this. Perhaps I became unured to the concept as a small child, when we retired to the basement of my school for nuclear drills, and the SAC pilot's kid next to me said, when the teachers told us to put out heads between our kness, 'kiss your ass goodbye'.
