And it's usually stupidity driven by surprise - a large corporation. And seriously, wow! The people they hire at USA Today are fucking maroons! Of course they exist and have jobs because there are even bigger maroons out there who'll buy their paper (killing trees) and actually buy into the shit they imprint on it.
I like how author (a thinking human being mind you) doesn't in the link doesn't pull punches however -
"When it comes to war, however, just propose to end it, and 4 out of 5
dentists, or doctors, or teachers, or gardeners, or anybody else in the
United States will say "What about the next Hitler?" Well, what about
the dozens of misidentified next-Hitlers of the past 70 years? What
about the possibility that within our own minds we're dressing up war as
disaster relief? Isn't it just possible that after generations of
clearly aggressive, destructive, and criminal wars we describe
militarism as a response to the second-coming of Hitler because the
truth wouldn't sound as nice?"
