The last 2 generations were raised on the Hollywood propaganda. Notice that many big box-office movies are superhero franchise?
The Justice League
The Avengers
The Guardians of the Galaxy
X-Force / X-Men
etc... ad nauseum
People have been raised on the idea that someone, some powerful good all-knowing being, will magically show up and come to the rescue.
Nobody is coming. If we want Justice... then it's Just Us. We have to make it happen. Keep revealing the truth. Keep waking people up. Keep holding public officials accountable. Keep insisting that the propaganda news actually report some truth once in a while. Get involved.
I got out in 2014. I had been in for 16 years. Got MS and had to get out but I absolutely loved my job. I did see the writing on the wall, though.
Maybe just where I was, they were just pushing it too hard, and that affected my perception of where it’s going.
The upper echelon is pushing it. The career officers in the higher ranks are protecting their pension and position. The rank and file are tolerating the nonsense, but they aren't believing it. They do what they have to do to get through each day, but they haven't been asked to betray the American people. That is the line in the sand that they will not cross. This is why we don't commit acts of terrorism or violence, it changes us from Patriots to enemies and that is far easier for the regular military folks to fight against. We remain peaceful for as long as possible, only if they start murdering innocent unarmed civilians en masse do we fight back.
