I know from where my own viewpoints are based. I've lived it. I walked the walk. I possess a basis of experience from which I can draw to formulate an informed belief system.
Do not presume that you know what the military is, and how it operates, just because you've seen it in a movie.
I've seen Star Trek...that doesn't qualify me to speak with any authority on intergalactic space travel.
