Obviously. The CIA Decided To Activate Its; "Kill-Switch," Before I Was Able To Cover The 2023 Super Bowl.

Which, to me, seems like more than a wee bit of foolishness on their part.

Given that the 2023 Super Bowl was supposed to be the start of their, grand, opening salvo against me. An offensive which was intended to have dragged on until that Eurovision Song Contest, which never happened.

Super Bowls always call to my mind the military. The Fly-Past, the Flags, the National Anthem.

America ended compulsory military service in 1973. Since then there has been a separation between the US military and the US population.

Where once every US citizen knew someone who serves/has served in the military. Now there is now just a small section of the population who serve in the military.

Families who, rather like mine, hand that weight down. From generation-to-generation. As if it's just; 'The Family Business.'

As a result. You have, very, courageous individuals like Colin Kaepernick. Who feel absolutely no shame in kneeling their ridiculous, little haircuts before the National Anthem. 

Not knowing that tradition was introduced at the 1918 Baseball World Series, During the Great War. To give succour to those who, at that very moment, were fighting and dying. For whatever values America held dear at the time.

Hardly being a stranger to Israel. This separation between the US military and the US people has always struck me as being a little odd. Given that Israel is a nation in which all citizens must, still, serve in the military.

In the sense that whenever I find myself trying to explain something like the role of an EA-18G "Growler" aircraft to Americans. I have to speak really slowly whilst using very simple words.

Whereas an Israeli just understands it. Probably better than I do.
