General Douglas MacArthur's view on government.

[groupthink]

"Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear -*
kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervour *-
with the cry of grave national emergency.
Always, there has been some terrible evil at home,
or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up
if we did not blindly rally behind it."

General Douglas MacArthur
Whan, ed. "A Soldier Speaks: Public Papers and Speeches of General of the Army Douglas MacArthur," (1965); Nation, August 17, 1957

MacArthur was a ego mad idiot who wanted WWIII, Nuke China, and is a key reason the Korean war lasted years longer then it could have, and tens of thousands of American troops died...

Just my thoughts on him...
