This stuff has one of the guys at work pretty bent out of shape. Between the UN troops, FEMA coffins, etc it's certainly something to make you wonder.

It makes sense if you are trying to piece things together and find something logical about this but honestly I am not sure our government is logical, they probably have 10 different reasons for each of these things and half are most likley are redundant or are in direct opposites/contradiction of each other. I think you will find this stuff end up being used for entirely different reasons but I still think they will be bad for us as citizens.
