“Comment by an old frogman”
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
Otherwise they would not get within 50 feet of it, and then with shields.
But so many here are blinded by their delusions and hatred they cannot think rationally on this matter.
But most are otherwise good Freepers that will come back to the fold after their emotions calm.
A big problem with actually doing false flag ops, or weaponizing/falsifying intel for political ends, is that when an enemy actually does something, nobody believes you anymore.
Yep, FFs work, and intel bosses can lie, but in the end there is a serious downside loss of cred when you need it.
