"Everywhere in the world I dread that same self-deception which holds that "it can't happen here." It can happen anywhere. It becomes unlikely only where the mass of the population is aware of the threat, where there is accordingly no relapse into lethargy, where the character of "totalitarianism" is known and recognized from its very inception and in each of its aspects-as a Proteus which is constantly putting on new masks, which glides out of your grasp like an eel, which does the opposite of what it claims, which perverts the meaning of its words, which speaks, not to impart information, but to hypnotize, divert attention, insinuate, intimidate, dupe, which exploits and produces every type of fear, which promises security while destroying it completely."
—Karl Jaspers

I'm not the guy calling the Coast Guard "Gestapo Warriors".
You've been trying to justify your statement for over two days now.
How about you just shuut up now instead of trying to get that foot out of your mouth?
For a guy claiming to have been in the military, you sure don't SOUND like a guy who was in the military.
