SIG SAUER - Never Settle

Ghosts In The Machine

Apparently this video has people upset.

Personally, I’m just glad they’re using the term “psywar” again.

    The fact that people are talking about it means its working lol

    I’ve seen this video going around and it raises good questions but it’s hard to trust a group who’s most popular and public member was Lt. Col Michael Aquino who founded The Temple of Set. There’s plenty out there on the internet about him, his Temple of Set and his co-written paper “From PSYOP To Mind War: The Psychology Of Victory By Colonel Paul E. Valley (Commander) With Major Michael A. Aquino (PSYOP Research & Analysis Team Leader)”

      I’d be careful throwing labels around like “most popular and public member” – currently serving and never heard of the guy in 2 decades as a 37F..

        I’d say eyebrows did his job very well then if you’re so ignorant of him.

    • SSD says:

      Found the guy upset about the video.

    • Iggy says:

      What’s wrong with Temple of Set? Same stupid, exploitative and tax exempt con job every other religion is. 1A in action and what sets the US apart from those places in the video.

    • RD says:

      … smells like boomers and tinfoil hats in here.

    I’ve heard people are upset because this isn’t what the unit really does…either way it’s a cool video…

    • SSD says:

      The extremes on both ends of the spectrum are throwing poo.

    • Iggy says:

      I’m up set that the Kim family, Ayatollah, Erdogan and Burmese Junta didn’t get front and center air time like The PLA and Putin do.

    The vast majority of the average PsyOp career is less interesting than this video. Good ad, but lots of online upset over nothing.

    When allowed to work and able to get approvals, it can be awesome, but at least up until a few years ago that was a rare occurrence.

    PsyOp recruiting push? Are PsyOp E5s not bottlenecked at E6 anymore?
    Also, I agree with Vic. The PsyOp careerfield is mostly deskriding and the occasional hollywood jump.
    Cool video though, very high production value.

  6. Pepper says:

    Anyone of actual importance upset?

    Realities of the job aside, God forbid the Army try and present itself as anything more than a corporate job works program with uniforms and possibly some PT.

  7. Iggy says:

    I like it. Gets a certain message across, and takes me back to the Portishead gigs I went to.
    No less misleading than any other recruitment reel and better than many.

    decent production video.. perhaps meant to resonate with junoir military types in a recruiting effort?

    in reality they likely get papercuts on their eyeballs waiting months for apporval to do, an overcome by events, tweet that won’t culterally resonate with overseas target audience.

    I’d rather engage with the tech and matric savvy marketing team of a fortune 500.

    Tho I do laugh every time I see a hokey translation of an out of context Sun Zi quote used, then people cry in their beer at how the PLA is rolling out…

    Ladies and Gents, I’ve watched this a few times. I don’t get it, admittedly I’m an ignorant and uneducated person. What are we trying to accomplish here? Get people to join to do what? I am not upset just confused…

  11. Lcon says:

    Going to be brutally honest. First time I saw the video. I thought it was a Viral marketing campaign for a Sequel to 2019’s Joker.

    Is this where they’re sending the recently-resigned Ministry of Truth lady?

    The number one way to engender resentment and fan anti-US nationalistic sentiment is to interfere in their domestic politics..

    Psyops, without actually having the competencies or authorities to influence anything of import, defacto made a propaganda video for use by any US opposition.. brilliant
