War

Military cronyism and corruption focusing on Petraeus.

"Here’s an oddity: Americans recognize corruption as an endemic problem in much of the world, just not in our own."

That's the truth. The same with oppression, aggression, and blowback. That's some good brainwashing. When Russians attack ISIS in Syria and ISIS responds by blowing up a Russian jet, Americans recognizes the connection. When the US attacks ISIS in Syria and ISIS responds with terrorist attacks in Paris, Brussels and Atlanta, Americans say they hate us for our freedom.
