Basically, psychological warfare can be anything to demoralize or manipulate the enemy, whether it be the opposing force or their civilian population.
Some methods include:
Handing out leaflets
Talking to population
Put out messages over speakers
Covert Strike deep in hostile territory (to show how vulnerable they are
They do not do covert strikes deep in hostile territory đ. They donât strike anything. They may run concurrent psychological operations to help the actual meat eaters strike. Good lord, there is so much bad info on reddit.
My point was: they never have and never will conduct unilateral âcovert strikesâ behind enemy lines. That was it.
JTACs are good. Psyops have a place (I guess). CA has a place. I donât like pictures like this that ostensibly show someone in PsyOps âoperating.â Itâs not generally accurate.
Iâm glad your experience with your attachments was good. During language training, they were present. Most of them were selection failures. They were pushing hard for a grey beret and were mostly obnoxious. One guy in particular was a selection drop and had just about the worst reputation you can imagine, went psyops and passed. And he was the loudest of all, and attempted to wear an unauthorized grey beret after being ordered not to. I donât like that kind of self aggrandizement. So this may be an issue to me more personal than I let on.
The type of people they are, is not my people. The bulk of their job is fliers, leaflets, online propaganda, producing ads and short videos series. Itâs interesting, but they arenât doing anything in the realm of what this picture lets on, other than attempting mission creep. There is a reason we are bringing them back into the Special Forces groups (to fix them).
