Just thinking about the Council's behavior in the series. They're informed of the threat, and they refuse to believe what they're told. Thenwhenindeniable evidenceof that threat shows up and they flat out deny and play it down while refusing to give support to combat it. Then when it finally hits them in the face they're ill prepared for it. Were there any real world governments that acted like this? Don't know why, but Pearl Harbor comes to mind…
On kind of the same note, I really want to make a rant about some of the training in my company lately, but I know I'm not supposed to be criticizing my superiors or the army, so I'm doing my best to keep it to myself. Suffice it to say, I find myself slightly disagreeing with what we're covering as opposed to what I wish we were covering with the privates.
