>Within the U.S. military, PSYOP has habitually been relegated to a back-seat as a

“force multiplier”. The principal strategic decisions are made in consideration of traditional political and military interests and goals. Only then is PSYOP invited to the table, to help

achieve already-agreed-upon missions more efficiently.

>MindWar reverses this sequence. Psychological means for achieving victory -

essentially through convincing the enemy that he really wants to bring his national policies

into harmony with ours - are fashioned in support of basic political goals. The use of

“ordinary” military force (bombs, bullets, etc.) is regarded as a “last resort” in

circumstances wherein MindWar by itself fails.
