"Homeland" Opener Offers Some Eye-Opening Analysis of the War on Terror

For the White Urban Liberal Women who watch Premium Cable Dramas and otherwise don't really know what's going on in the world (except that Obama is Awesome and we're losing the #WarOnWomen), this character's assessment of the current strategy in the War on Terror -- that there isn't one -- will be pretty surprising.

Worth a watch. "Hit Reset," indeed.

Then again, maybe dumb people will assume that this is made up. Dumb people have a habit of assuming that true things are fiction, and fictitious things -- like Obama -- are true.

For example, some people were surprised to find out The Martian was not based on real events. They thought we'd already been to Mars.

Moon, Mars. Both start with M's, both have four letters. Close enough.
