Like millions of Americans during the WWII, there was a job that needed done, they didn't question, they went and did it, those that came home returned to their now new normal life and carried on, very few ever saying what they did or saw. They took it as their "responsibility", their "duty" to Country, to protect and preserve our freedoms and way of life, not just for themselves but for all future generations to come. As a member of that "First" generation, I'm forever humbly in their debt. *

Was this not the PERFECT way to carry out the Illuminati agenda?!
The actors were already on the payroll from being in the military. They were probably recruited to the "new assignment" due to their appeal.
Talk about joining the dots....!
what the hell is this crap that you are only a real man if you have served in the forces, does your manhood come into question if you did not pass your medical or if you was a conscientious objector, because the soldiers of today seem to be made up of serial killers and idiots in uniform, and a good portion of the time it is the uniform that gives them a buzz so much so they almost have an orgasm from the experience, yours sincerely TONY LANE
