bro, you said there were "zero terrorist enemies. none." perhaps you did not articulate your point adequately.
in any case, the complex did a horrible job identifying terror as the enemy to replace russia. osama declared war on USA in 1998. blew up the USS cole. the complex shrugged. wasnt until 911 & a plane was flown right up its ass did the pentagon care about al qaedas.
the big enemy after the cold war was gonna be china if you recall. The complex was flying planes into china & we had to apologize when one of our planes landed in china.
