Living the Lie

 Yes, I’ve heard all those platitudes about how we were almost invaded. The tactical maps on the wall of a certain barracks, but like all great plans, it’s always a question of logistics. Nonetheless the ugly rumours served the old carrot on a stick, and in that folly, our so-called fearless leaders were just the usual marionettes, never entrusted more than what served that ruse, for all their dubious internal politics. It didn’t even matter if they failed, as long as it distracted from the real shit going on. That’s all it ever amounted to until the game plan changed. So go ahead and wallow in your pride of meaningful purpose on the scale of 1 to 10, just remember these words of Sun Tzu: All warfare is based on deception. No, this isn’t some conspiracy theory, just a fundamental fact of life or death in the real world.
