U.S. Department for the Preservation of American Dignity

The U.S. Department for the Preservation of American Dignity was an American government department created by President Lyndon B. Johnson during the 1960s in the event of an invasion. The department went defunct sometime in the mid 1970s. Its goal was to preserve the memory of the United States if a foreign enemy had been conquered, most likely by Russia or some assume, aliens, by ordering citizens to kill themselves in the "victory position"
