——————– RANT OF THE DAY ——————–
I saw an article about US troops no longer being allowed to watch youtube or go to myspace, facebook, etc…
Too bad for these guys eh…
While I oppose the US presence in Iraq, I can just cringe and feel sorry for these guys.
From a tactical perspective, the insurgents are winning the propaganda war. Posting up their videos showing IED attacks on US troops, mortar attacks, and dont forget the famous JUBA the sniper… with the jihad jihad music in the background.
Alot of these insurgent vids find their way into youtube… portraying USA as being defeated.
On the other side, USA troops decide to post vids of themselves defeating insurgents and helping Iraqi children with all the smiles and cheers… with the death rock or country music in the background.
And how the fuck can these troops fight the propaganda war?!? If these insurgents will dominate the propaganda war, the whole world will think that USA army is a bunch of pussies getting their ass whipped by a ragtag army…
Like fuck… here are these troops fighting the propaganda war during breaktime from fighting… and their generals stop them from doing that.
If I was a US general, I'd encourage my troops to pump out the propaganda… Heck. I'd even give bonuses and medals to the best videos they make.
In today's battlefield of assymetric warfare, youtube is your friend.
A stupid decision. To the USA war effort. The war on terrorism includes the battlefield of the internet.
