Great article.
This reminds me of something I read about the Iraq war that really made me laugh. It seems that our psych ops troops understood something about Arab pride, so they'd drive Humvees with loudspeakers praising Iraqi males, asking them to stay at home during the invasion, and saying they will be important to building a free Iraq in the future. They also had a message for the irregular militia men -- saying they were impotent. The report I read said this enraged the militia fighters so much they'd come out shooting from behind their cover, where our combat forces could quickly send them on to the next world.
Does anyone else remember reading a news report like this?

Yes, I read that as well. If you were looking for the article, I believe it was in the mainstream press. If I'm misremembering, maybe it was military.com? Stars 'n Stripes?

I did not see this report. If true, it's a great news. It means that somebody really did his homework well.

No, but it sounds like something that would work, and that we would do.

No, but it's so funny I hope it's true.
