This is how fascism takes hold
Only 23% of government workers believe they “can report a suspected violation of a law, rule, or regulation without experiencing retaliation.". That's way down form the share the prior year (72%) who said they could report suspected illegal activity without fear. While it's somewhat comforting to know that the highest percentages of those unafraid to report illegal activity are in the various branches of the military, it is still far from a majority there, suggesting a widespread unwillingness to refuse illegal orders.

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
