Evidence

Later, I asked Miguel and Janice if they felt their concerns were heard at the meeting. “No,” Janice replied. To her, it seemed the military was just trying to persuade people to go along with their plans. “I feel like they have an agenda. I honestly feel like they were trying to sell a product,” she said. “It’s a product I don’t want to buy.” — David Vine, Base Nation_ How U.S. Military Bases…, 429 (#exemplifies, via linked claim)
