bingo

not a lot of people are indoctrinated into the world of national security, and because of that they just balk at it

there's a lot going on in the world, and it's not a big happy place where everyone are friends, to put it bluntly

china has other motives, I think a quick google should at least clue one in their corporate espionage activities

> indoctrinated

This is not normally a word with positive connotations.

Because the US is a free speech country, people can be aware that quite a lot of stuff done in the name of national security, especially since 9/11, is highly questionable. And the current administration has its own national security questions to answer relating to Russia.
