And when we do, it is painfully obvious that there are too many people recruited that should not be in psyop. I've met psyopers who graduated from psyop school who don't know what USASOC is, what cognitive dissonance is, or even that there is a 7 stage psyop process!! Holy shit!<BR/>Psyop school has become something closer to Ranger and infantry school than psyop school. The cognitive standards are far too low. <BR/>So supporting units don't know how to use us, but most of "us" are ignorant of what we are supposed to do. Many psyopers think that they are just supposed to gather information, other to just hand stuff out. <BR/>Psyop is really difficult and it is a skill that takes years to master. I'm only scratching the surface myself. So while people at the pentagon understand the need for psyop, psyop isn't developed to the point that it can deliver. <BR/>That is why they've moved onto civilians doing our jobs with the HTS program.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
