British Army Announce New Psyops Brigade

The Army is setting up a new unit that will use psychological operations and social media to help fight wars "in the information age".

Head of the Army General Sir Nick Carter said the move was about trying to operate "smarter".

The 77th Brigade, made up of reservists and regular troops and based in Hermitage, Berkshire, will be formally created in April.

It has been inspired by the Chindits who fought in Burma in World War Two.

And it's not like we've been doing it already.

Have you?

Yes.

How'd it go?

Afghans don't use social media.

Maybe they're expecting a high mortality rate?

Afghans don't use social media.

Sooo..... How'd it go?

By very measure of humanity the country is in a better position now than it was before.

My concern is we've stood up a brigade to do a job that's already being done.

And that's thanks to a bunch of porn-driven losers sat pissing about on social media?



Why is that a concern?

Porn driven losers haven't driven any improvements in AFG.

But I'd agree with boris that are own brand of jelly heads do seem to look for a quick way of absolving their failures.

It's a concern because that's the issue that's being talked about. Duplicating effort is never good.

So they're going to 'tweet' the enemy to death?
