Support the troops! Never question propaganda! Never ask why analysts quote the Pentagon! Never ask how much analysts made from war contracts! Never harass patriots who profiteer! Your questions might demoralize the troops, darn you quisling defeat-mongering leftwing wacko! What if they knew how many people got rich off their sweat and blood?
