A symbol of the propaganda that makes it all work.
Post-Vietnam guilt
The guilt doesn’t seem to work towards staying out of undeclared/unwon wars.
A giant flag ritual at the next ball game will make it all good.

Some version of REAL ID has been required at border crossings and ports of entry since 2009.

Why It Matters
Americans were told that they faced a life and death situation after 911. If certain actions were not taken, terrorists could come to America to disrupt our way of life and attempt another 911.
If all this was a life and death situation that required sending the troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, wouldn’t it be important to ask a few public policy questions about what was going on?
Newspeople have a long history of not asking questions in this area.
