I find it a little disturbing the rising jingoism we are seeing in the states. Military recruitment ads are everywhere all of the sudden. It went away for a solid decade after the catastrophe of Iraq and Afghanistan, but it seems like the war drums are beating once again. The fear mongering over China has reached an absolute fever pitch, and it feels eerily reminiscent of the 2002 media blitz to justify toppling Saddam.
