"It's all propaganda to insure they have a large enough force on hand to CONTROL it's citizens."
As if the citizens are sufficiently conditioned already?
We're numbered, catalogged, enumerated, registered, folded, spindled and mutilated from the time we're born, and when it isn't government that does these things (like assigning social security numbers and issuing various licenses), we're doing it for ourselves (giving out our e-mail adress willy-nilly, or voluntarily providing information to our banks, insurance companies and credit card issuers). By the way, this trend towrads centralization oif information by governments has been with Western Civilization since the beginning of time. It's simply just more efficient now than it was in the time of the Domesday Book.
You assume that at some point there will come a day when the US Government will turn on it's citizens and that there is no way we will survive the process. True, in some rgards: I can't defend against Predator drones, cruise missiles and nuclear submarines, but I'm also not totally convinced that all law-enforcement/military types are mind-numbed robots who blindly follow orders, either.
They have families too, you know. And if ordered to do something that seemed strange to them, I could promise you that a great many of them would think about it and the consequences, before they did it. In fact, a good many of them would refuse to simply obey without clarification or explanation. So, your "the government is out to get us" theory has a series of logical flaws in it.
But then again, you've worked for the government for 30 years....
By the way, why do you continue working (are you still a government employee?) for an organization you are dead certain is plotting your doom?
