Ignoring IO is not a strategy. This is the same thing as saying we con't do small wars or COIN because they make us uncomfortable.
And yes we do lethal PSYOP in that we seek to change behaviors in order to expose the enemy and kill him.
As for management of effects, we do that too regardless of what it is called. Again we seek to change behaviors.
We do this as part of our doctrine today. We have done it in our past as a subset of general military operations.
