I'm not talking about Nellis.

Edit: I can't say what I am talking about, but I will say that we (the U.S.) ended up having to lease usage of the U.K. facility even though it was physically located here in the U.S. and protected by U.S. forces.

Guy...

You're not inspiring the average American's confidence in the US Government.

So? Inspiring confidence in the government is not my job, defense of the nation is.

They are not at all the same thing.

In fact if Americans weren't in general wary of the government I'd be wondering who kidnapped all of America and replaced them sleeper cell aliens. There's no finer American pasttime than distrusting the government, it's right up there with chopping cherry trees and baseball.
