That interview was in the 80's or something. It's completely untrue in the present day.

Now it's 100%.

War news is always highly curtailed propoganda. Doesn't matter who is doing it. You access a warzone without the blessing of at least one side you aren't coming home alive and you definitely aren't getting your story out.

Only way to get a semblance of what's actually going on is to watch the propoganda from both sides and read between the lines.

Moral of the story is: if you don't like telling the truth or keeping secrets, don't work for the government?

It's not possible for one agency to 'plant' that many 'war stories'. This guy is obviously lying. Of course there are professionals in the Pentagon who provide information for military news, but that's not to say that 80% of that informaiton is 'planted'. File this dumbass claim in the same folder as - 'my grandpa has a CIA friend who told him that QAnon is right'!

Because everyone just naturally supports mass murder warfare?

If you can't get actual support and permission to MASS MURDER hundreds or thousands of innocent people, manufacture it.
