North Korea has a combined military (active, reserve, and paramilitary) of 7,679,000. ISIS has 31,000. Both North Korea and ISIS publicly execute their enemies, both countries have made fantasy videos depicting the destruction of the United States and the killing of its leaders. Ask yourself these questions: Which country (or state) you are most afraid and why? Do you think even North Korea poses an existential threat to America (keeping in mind its military 250 times larger than ISIS - and thats just personnel, not counting the DPRKs much more sophisticated hardware and delivery systems)? Why we are so frightened? Are guts something only the Greatest Generation had? Finally ask yourself if you hold stock in any of the multitude of corporations that profit from your fears, or vote for politicians who take bribes from these corporations to do their bidding. BTW, I think its quite possible the Millennials are a brave generation, I am crossing my fingers as they are going to need to be quite brave to bear the burdens we have handed them.
