And I think that history showed that the "communist threat" was greatly exaggerated.
Vietnam was a completely stupid ass war. And when the Soviet Union finally fell apart, I read that our so-called "intelligence community" was astounded at how backward and far behind us they were in every way militarily.
Communism was the boogey man to build the giant military machine to make defense contractors insanely wealthy (at taxpayer expense).
Once it was revealed that communism was a bunch of nothing...the defense industry needed a new monster to scare us dumbass citizens with.
A dozen goatherders with box cutters fit the bill. And they were actually able to convince us that it requires all of us to be searched in airports, a huge military buildup, AND invading 2 countries with countless people killed in order to respond to this horrible threat.
