I've had vets present their propaganda ridden publications to me as evidence of cons good libs bad. Having read as much as I have, I was able to dismiss all of it.

This stuff is insidious because it is considered secret so that it cannot be judged by people reading from public sources.

We know they're idiots and they think we are. Their belief being from compelling yet false information.
