Can you guess what this is?
This is taken from a recent government report (at page 3 of 86). Can you guess what the report is about from the purposefully vague prose?
DoD force protection policies are not optimized for countering internal threats. These policies reflect insufficient knowledge and awareness of the factors required to help identify individuals likely to commit violence. This is a key deficiency. The lack of clarity for comprehensive indicators limits commanders’ and supervisors’ ability to recognize potential threats. Current efforts focus on forms of violence that typically lend themselves to law enforcement intervention (e.g, suicide, domestic violence, gang-related activities) rather than on perceptions of potential security threats. To account for possible emerging internal threats, we encourage the Department to develop comprehensive guidance and awareness programs that include the full range of indicators for potential violence.
Answer: the report is about an “alleged perpetrator“. Disgraceful. There would be more people alive today (a) if the DoD did not willfully blind itself in service of political correctness; and (b) if the soldiers at Fort Hood were permitted carry their weapons.

Sounds like something you write as an undergrad to try and cover that you don’t know the material. Unfortunately, the material here is vital. and this is no test.

When our Presidents are afraid or unwilling to name the enemy who has been attacking us since the Iranian revolution, what do you expect of the political generals in the Pentagon?
We can’t lose, unless we decide not to fight to win. We’re going to lose, and I’m glad I’m old enough that I won’t live to see it.
