Other notes concerning psychology and war are painfully sketchy.

I'm reading this excellent book about the strange things our military gets up to, like training soldiers to walk through walls and kill goats by looking at them.  Here is an amusing tidbit I thought I'd share...

The Americans have always been better than the Iraquis at leaflets.  Early on in the first Gulf War, Iraqui PsyOps dropped a batch of their own leaflets on U.S. troops, designed to be psychologically devastating.  They read. "Your wives are back home having sex with Bart Simpson and Burt Reynolds."

~from The Men Who Stare At Goats by Jon Ronson

Jeez, don't the Iraqui's know Bart Simpson is a minor.  That's illegal.
