    Q: How do you pronounce USACAPOC?
    A: The POC is silent.



    In my experience this is part of the problem. Folks make no distinction between CA and PSYOP. So my answer to your question is...

    How I expected to recognize anyone from SWJ at the conference I'll never know. I guess I thought that everyone would wear their screen name on their name tag. :o

    Good idea! My thinking is that it is the intent of the attack that differentiates between a legitimate military action and a terrorist attack. Thus intent is important in terrorist v. insurgent in...

    Ok I'll bite, which reports are those? I don't recall news reports of military personnel opening fire on groups of people after their return from Iraq. Admittedly I only follow the US and UK, and a...
