Movies and novels, etc often take artistic license with the facts in order

selection of what facts and speculation to report since they are going for
ratings.

Dee, excellent, excellent post.

We start out agreeing...

That must be why some in this group constantly quote british comedy as
if it were somehow relevant to matters at hand. They get their history
from Monty Python. Telling is their admiration for the contribution(s)
that the ARS made in WWII. Quitepuzzling, since the ARS was shut down.

Then comes your demonization.

Question, Brian...: Why do you remain an Amateur Radio licensee?

You're on a "need to know" basis where that is concerned.

I ask this since the only people you seem to "click" with clearly hate
Amateur Radio and it reflects in your own posts. So why maintain the
"relationship" with people you clearly disdain?

Steve, K4YZ

My disdain is for people who are two-faced. People who incessantly
exercise a double-standard in RRAP. People who claim that knowledge of
military and commercial comms is NOT a knowledge of radio, or that such
knowledge cannot lend itself to amateur radio. Except when they want
to loft amateur radio up as the source for military radio knowledge
during WWII.

Best of luck.
