As I've said, imagination and speculation fuel innovation. Sure, we start on the fringes in that sense but then you need to back track to find solid ground. I don't need to tell you that assumptions that were made on the basis of us being the centre of the universe incorporated a fatal flaw crippling any science that flowed from it. When you are checking out speculative stuff like Ancient Aliens, be alert for phrases like: "...can only mean that...". It usually means anything but.

Sounds good, but might I add, have'nt we all started from "The Fringes"? In a sense, thats how it all started in this fascination of conspiracy. BUT, have'nt we learned that in some cases, current mainstream scholary research could be wrong too? I mean at one point in time, we were the center of the universe...

Okay cool, true that. It just seems that if somthing so radical pops up, it gets buried, history had shown us that, am I wrong?
Ideologies an current governments who don't think we should know things is what gets me. But nonetheless, I do agree with you.
My MOS is not a security issue, so I can discuss it.
I am a 74D, CBRN SPC. My job covers Decontamination of Nerve, Blister, Choking, Blood and Biological hazards.
Our MTOE can cover anything from personnel, vehicle an aircraft decon. Also Hazmat an chem force recon fall under the same field.
