The United States kind of suck in 1976.
Not just the United States, but pretty much the rest of the world as well.
It is one of the many reasons to why I didn't really bother to live through the years normally, preferring to drop in and out of the timestream every now and then just to see how things are progressing, and whether I need to make some kind of adjustment to many of my ongoing projects, especially Hydra.
Hydra is pretty good at following my orders to the letter without me being there in person, as most of the first-generation members are hardcore veteran soldiers. Soldiers that have lived through countless atrocities of war, so they will and do shoot anyone who doesn't follow the proper chain of command.
It is something that I have personally approved of, as I do not want to deal with insubordination simply because of moral or religious implications. Those things honestly have nothing to do with my goal.
