Office of Strategic Influence, as I recall.. Yeah.. was actually pretty silly because they didn't do a very good job of keeping it a secret.. Propaganda has it's good and bad purposes. But I definitely think we're better off telling the truth about our enemies in order to maintain own credibility. (which is why I try and find the videos and post them). IMO, MEMRI is probably one of the best resources available. All they have to do is just record and translate the Jihadist bastards in their own words. No need to lie when the enemy is giving you all the psychological "ammunition" you need to make the case about their intentions. I can also opine that our DOD PR people are pretty disorganized when it comes to telling their own story. They are reactive, not proactive. I want to see more "Why We Fight" style projects. Do them fairly, use the publicly broadcasted video from the Jihadists, and show it to our people. Sure.. some of it is heated rhetoric and bluster. But by using it against them, we may possibly force them to take it underground lest they lose support from even the wackos like BC and GR. Hawk
