Media will work us into a state of fear by focusing on Soviet, Chinese, Korean and Middle East dangers. Stories about the need to keep the Pacific sea-lanes free for our overseas trade. Nothing has really changed, but the news focus will convince Americans that even the smallest reductions in the military budget will put our country and our military men and women in danger.
The tactic of media bombardment works with illegal immigration and will be used to maintain INCREASED spending in the military budget. We will lose sight of the truth: the proposed 'cuts' are primarily in new military spending increases and NOT on today's military budget.
