In reply to the discussion: NSA Chief General Kieth Alexander and "The Secret War" [View all]Fantastic Anarchist
(7,309 posts)50. I like this comment from Proteus at the Wired link:
Imagine if you had an enemy 1 Million times bigger, 1 Million times
richer and 1 Million times more powerful. And you kept the war even for
12 years. And you altered and lowered your enemies way of life
significantly. And you kept them scared. And they dropped all their
priorities for you. And they abandoned their core values because of you.
You succeeded on a scale beyond nearly any victory ever achieved.
