Yeah, same, I was born after the dissolution so I too came up in the era of War on Terror and "National Security" and Cold War Counterintelligence systems replaced by Counterterrorism. Dealt with my fair share of washed up Cold Warriors harassing innocent kids because they'd lost the power and authority to do much more or go after adults who matter.

But I know enough about the Cold War period to know what was a return to prewar paradigms that's now being lost yet again and what was a brief blip of throwing a tarp over old Cold War toys and continuing to use stuff no one has any clue how to replace in peacetime.
