This is a story of how the US army is apparently actively encouraging ignorance within its' soldiers.

If there's one thing we must avoid at all costs, it's the troops managing to obtain information which might cause them to question their current role as corporate mercenaries. Far better to simply allow them to keep the propaganda tape loop from WW2 running inside their heads, which causes them to think that they're "defending freedom," when in fact they are doing exactly the opposite.
