Army Psy Ops Units Targeted American Senators

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the oh-yeah-that'll-work-fine dept.

Weezul writes "The US Army illegally ordered a team of soldiers specializing in 'psychological operations' to manipulate visiting American senators into providing more troops and funding for the war. An officer who tried to stop the operation was railroaded by military investigators. (see also the Hatch Act of 1939)."

    I think it is more like the character George Clooney played in The Men Who Stare at Goats.

    That movie was so much better than The Men Who Stare at Goatse. I really need to pay better attention when picking a theater.

    Holy cow are you people starting to sound like broken records. Is this the answer to all questions? The Federal Reserve Act?! What is wrong with our schools?

    The US school system used to be one of the best. But it was never the same after the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.
