Hell no.
But there is a VERY different mentality that is fostered within government walls.
A compartmentalized, collectivist, do as your told without asking questions mind-set that accepts human death as necessary to preserve life permeates
their existence.
Secret agents, assets, spies, assassins, dupes, and patsies are REAL and utilized every day throughout the world.
Even your basic soldier is numbed down and trained to accept orders and deal with atrocities and the slaughter of innocents as "collateral damage"
as a normal part of war.
But imagine yourself as a covert agent who may have taken part in covert illegal activity in other countries for the "good of the nation" in the
past.
Imagine you were shown "top secret" papers showing you how the world's oil reserves will be depleted within a decade complete with a projection
demonstrating the descent into international chaos with the U.S. being the first to go down due to the collapse of the dollar as the world's fiat
currency for oil and all international trade.
At that point could you be convinced that an operation of deception killing almost 3,000 in your own country would be necessary to garner support of
efforts that would allegedly save the lives of millions in the future and preserve the U.S. superpower status of the world?
What do you think you could do about it 10 years later when you find out that the report they showed you convincing you to take part in this operation
was nothing but a fabrication?
