Personally I think the whole Battle of Los Angles is an example of mass hysteria. The troops guarding LA were not the best and brightest. Those left here in the US were old war vets or people so blind they couldn't qualify for standard combat positions.

My Dad served on a Submarine Tender in WWII. This was a non combat support ship. It had a couple of guns and they did some target practice trying to shoot a target towed by a plane. My Dad was the only one to hit the target and they couldn't assign him to the gun because he wore glasses. A couple of the idiots aimed at the tow plane. None of them on board qualified for combat. That is why they were on that ship. I contend a similar situation prevailed in L.A.
