Read the comments. Every single one of them. Wow.
I have not seen the reputation of the US federal government so low since I was a little kid seeing Viet Nam, Nixon, and Watergate play out on TV. But there's not even a particularly hot war going at this point.

- marshray 15y agoPretty sure it was actually Nixon who actually invented the "War on [undefeatable abstraction]" with his "War on Cancer".
