    Political shills...

    If you're curious about the great discrepancy between this title's overall rating vs the overwhelming number of 1 star reviews, choose "Sort by:Prolific Reviewer" from the drop down menu at upper right. If you then click on the reviewer's user name you can see how many titles they have actually reviewed. As of 1/22/23 there is 1 one star reviewer who has reviewed more than one title, ie all the other 1 star reviews are from authors who have reviewed this and this title alone. That should should give some indication of what's going on here. It is particularly ironic that one of these reviewers makes the accusation that the high overall rating is the result of a conspiracy amongst the "left" when in fact the evidence indicates quite the opposite.

    The US won the Cold War but at what cost?

    Trillions of dollars in national security and if there is ever nuclear war, the powers that be will be safe in their bunkers they built with your tax money while you die from radiation.

    The journalism is not neutral, there is political bias and identity politics. The way it paints the victims of Waco is not with the same sympathy as the victims of Katrina. Matter of fact it didn't delve into the victims of the Waco massacre at all or indict the actions of the ATF whatsoever.

    I would've liked it a lot more if it wasn't occasionally biased. The most important thing they don't tell you is that it is by design. The military industrial complex is not an accident. It's not mutually exclusive to one party. Obama was as terrible as Bush but they don't criticize the Obama administration, hmm.

    They imply it is the government's job to protect people in the first place as if that is supposed to be its proper function, the creators of this content don't see the irony in that?

    Some truth

    There is some truths spoken, but got too politicized against blaming Trump for corrupting everything in America but the military, which just isn't the truth and again the political propaganda the media continues to brain wash Americans with, meanwhile real life traitors in our White House, Senate, Congress are destroying this country with destructive policies and corruption of the FBI, DOJ and making their own laws, breaking laws and not justice has been done because their side owns the vote. This will create civil unrest and has already started, which no wars happened under Trump. I am going to do a video of comparisons for Obama, Trump and Biden so everyone can get this truth all in one video and post it on here for these Anti-American traitors to see.

    Politicized hogwash

    I couldn't even get through the first episode. I don't care how you feel about Trump, the things reported in here were just ridiculous. The president does NOT have unilateral authority to begin a nuclear war. There is a process and chain of command. No president could ever, or WILL ever have the authority to decide to drop the bomb and then put in the code. Beyond stupid! The writer of this schlock should do some actual RESEARCH instead of listening only to the Lamestream Media. Also, using media that was not shot in the US when the subject is the US, is simply irresponsible. If you have a brain to think for yourself, this will be a huge disappointment.

    Interesting

    The show is a good idea, interesting. But WAY too much left wing propaganda. It's a good enough show, if you can handle that. It's all stuff that we probably in our minds already know. That there are higher ups in society, the decision makers that will be protected at all cost. I mean, we do have to have a plan if things get really bad. But the show points out that we on paper, we have a plan, and that plan is on paper. The show points out that when things did get bad, our plans weren't executed all that well. But that is also understandable in chaotic situations. Again, good show, but Far left leaning.
