*Your post contain two sentences that made sense to me:  *

"*PsyOps are common in a military setting.Those were used extensively in
the US conflict in Vietnam**.*"

*But that was it, those were the only two sentences I could make any sense
out of in your entire post, the logical contortions of everything else were
so ridiculously convoluted that I can't imagine how anybody could take them
seriously. Is it really that difficult for you to say anything negative
(other than balanced budget trivia) about You Know Who?  *

*And speaking of Vietnam, were you of draft age during that "war"? I was
but I managed to weasel out of it thanks to a college deferment. I didn't
think I deserved special consideration just because I was going to college,
but I wasn't going to refuse a chance of not getting shot at in that
idiotic "war" if the opportunity was handed to me. And I was infuriated
that at the time an 18-year-old could be drafted but you needed to be 21 to
vote. And most of the 58,000 American men who were killed in that "war"
were between 18 and 21. *

*>…What the hell are you talking about?! The military admits they sunk the
boats! The military claims they had it coming….*



*Admitting and claiming are similar but with an important distinction.
Army guys wearing camouflage are claiming to be foliage in a way.*



*Imagine this psy-ops: the military creates video using models and
munitions testing.  They release that.  Some of the drug runners decide to
go into safer businesses or take their merch elsewhere.  Mission partially
accomplished.  Then the military really does sink a few of these boats, or
more likely does things like fire a round to see if they can disable all
four engines with one shot.  They release no video of that.*



*> **We have questionable video released by the US government. *



*>…So you're suggesting a release  of a video by the US government and
faked by the US government in order to make the US government look like the
US government were war criminals when in reality the US government were not
war criminals**.**  Spike, you're just being silly.*  *John K Clark*



*Not at all.  PsyOps are common in a military setting.  Those were used
extensively in the US conflict in Vietnam.*



*If a case is brought against the US military in any international court,
all that exists is demonstrably fake evidence.  Note the surprising lack of
international outrage.  The other countries asked their generals to look
over the video.  They see the same things I do: what sure looks to me like
discontinuities, such as having boats appear to stop instantly when hit by
an incendiary.  Boats don’t stop instantly, even if you cut the throttles.*



*But also note carefully what is being claimed about these videos.  Note
what is being said and what is not being said.  Consider such possibilities
as the military took a captured drug boat, rigged it up with remote
controls, tested their munitions on it, made video, commented that it was a
drug boat (which is perfectly true (but uninformative (or rather it is
intentionally misinformative.)))  That is the nature of PsyOps.*
