Thanks, Myron, for the information on PSYOPs. I t makes for an interesting and educational read. I was familiar with the acronym because it was something David was looking into at one time. I guess I know more army lingo than I thought.
I enjoyed seeing the photos of our brave warriors from the 2nd squadron in a different position than we think of them. It only goes to show you how much more they do than they tell us about.
Marti - I agree...they are working on many things that we may or may not get insight on at this time...
Makes my mind wonder and go to some places that are not pretty...but that goes with the territory.
Thanks for sharing ma'am.
