Of course it is propaganda. Eisenhower warned of the military industrial complex. They wanted people to be scared enough to agree to larger than normal miltary expenditures, but not enough that things would come to a halt like you said in one part of the article. When people become afraid it turns on the "lizard" part of the brain and rational thinking becomes more difficult. Thanks for the post and the discussion.

So many people try to take advantage of that "lizard brain".
Very true. Thanks for teaching kids to think as well.
I'm trying... but this is just a tiny step in the process. It takes a combined team effort of parents, teachers, families, community members and society as a whole to really make a difference.
Compartmentalization is a great way for the military everything complex to maintain plausible deniability. My grandad died of guilt in the form of alcoholism and alzheimers.
