Military Strategies

... Shinseki introduced the Stryker brigade concept at the AUSA convention, he also very cunningly announced the change of official army headgear to a black beret. Masking the plan with contraversey...

I will always be weary of the Stryker.

It depends on how you interpret it. Didn't WWII break us out of the great depression? Wasn't WWII fought over oil? ie Hitler pursuing the Baku to fuel his empire, and Japan bombing Pearl Harbor in retrobution for oil embargo and to protect their flank in pursuit of oil in the east Indies? Think of all the affluency that resulted from war- the baby boom.

Yep and we never landed on the moon either.

On edit:

A conspiracy theory attempts to explain the cause of an event as a secret, and often deceptive, plot by a covert alliance rather than as an overt activity or as natural occurrence.

The term "conspiracy theory" is used by scholars and in popular culture to identify a type of folklore similar to an urban legend, having certain regular features, especially an explanatory narrative which is constructed with certain naive methodological flaws. The term is also used pejoratively to dismiss allegedly misconceived, paranoid or outlandish rumors.

Most people who have their theory or speculation labeled a "conspiracy theory" reject the term as prejudicial.
