This guy sounds like a total loser. I don't remember us ever sitting around watching TV all day at work. Indeed, I don't remember there being TVs for us to watch. And I'm not sure how we could listen to Rush Limbaugh on the way to work at 0600 since he doesn't come on the air until 1200. In general PSYOPers tend to be very cynical towards all politicians since we see their BS for what it is - but we are even more cynical towards all news media because the politicians are rank amateurs compared to them. The author certainly seems to have a lot of personal problems he is projecting on his fellow Soldiers. Probably suffers delusions of adequacy.

Well he is in psych ops and they are professional liars.  You can't trust any of them.  For instance, you claim that Rush doesn't come on at 6 in the morning, but that's not entirely accurate.  He does those morning updates.  In fact, a little searching shows that a radio station in Western North Carolina carries them right around 6 in the morning.  http://tunein.com/radio/options/Rush-Limbaugh-Morning-Update-p157462/

Too bad Fort Bragg is in eastern NC and there is no way somebody could get a radio signal from western NC there.


You said he is not on the radio at 6 AM  that wasn't true.  The list up there isn't exhaustive since I've heard his radio broadcasts in the morning as well, and my local station is there.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Yes, I'm sure the guy just made it up that his coworkers sometimes listened to Rush Limbaugh.

Oh, of course some do. It just illustrates that he doesn't really know shit about his coworkers and is merely demonstrating his own ignorance and intolerance. He is just a loser who bad mouths all his coworkers, probably to compensate for his own feelings of inadequacy.

Now I can tell you that, particularly in 9th Bn, PSYOPers tend to develop a certain arrogance, aggressiveness and swagger that some people have a hard time coping with. We usually develop it in 9th Bn since on deployments everybody we work with will considerably outrank us but we have to find a way to assert ourselves in order to influence the supported units.

Sooo.. in response PsyOps soldier criticizes Army Comrades' Anti-Tea Party Ideology.

Is it just me or do none of these PsyOps guys seem to use any of their supposed work related skills to make their case here?
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

:huh:

Satellite radio doesn't exist in NC?
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

I love the basic refutation of the article revolves around when Limbauh is on the radio. Because that really is the key idea here.

Dude doesn't understand what neoliberal means.

From what I have read it means people Europeans think are evil.

Right.  Which is the opposite of the way Dude intended.

Siege made a compelling argument as well.
