I watched part of the video and came to notice echoic Bells softly ding-donging as Alexander speaks.
MY COMMENTS: Why are bells ringing as Gen. Alexander speaks? You can hear their softly echoic ringing as Alexander speaks. Those sounds were put there by the Defense Department's "Armed With Science" blog, and were generated for a reason... Do they lend weight to Alexander's words? Do they give his flattish voice resonance and help make his words seem acceptable? There was no reason for the bell sounds to be there naturally. I've never heard of this kind of audio effect being used, and right now I am very suspicious of the NSA and the Defense Department, so I'm thinking they put the Bells in as a psychological "softener".

Gen. Alexander is a bat
