The U.S. 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, Rolling Stone has learned – and when an officer tried to stop the operation, he was railroaded by military investigators.

Can't be any worse than the **** we hear from politicians every day.

So the Army has high tech lobbyists?

And they targeted Al Franken? Nothing wrong with that.

Sounds like they have taken a page out of the SEIU's playbook.

You would have to be in a trance to be in favor of these wars. Talk about a bridge to nowhere...

I don't really have a problem with this. But then I understand what "psy ops" really means--unlike, obviously, the writer of the article, who is clearly trying to infer something far more sinister from the name than is in fact justified.

I am opposed to the wars, because I am opposed to fighting unless we are trying to win. But this sort of criticism is stupid.

You shouldn't pick a fight unless you intend to win, correct?

not necessarily. you could be trying to create a diversion by keeping the opponent occupied

A muzzle has been put on the military, so the other side of the story cannot be told. Until I hear the other side I'll reserve an opinion.
