As I study a bit of the PRC back story (including Australians part of the POW Olympics 1952) things look awfully similar to today. Eisenhower created the Code of Conduct so we& #39;d have a compass to guide us through the disinformation onslaught. Now we have facebook. @thespybrief https://twitter.com/911CORLEBRA777/status/1250439039603200001">https://twitter.com/911CORLEB...
Here& #39;s a link to the original (or at least very early edition) of the U.S. Army& #39;s 1956 Code of Conduct training. It& #39;s about indoctrination, propaganda, and disinformation. The website is "State University Libraries of Florida" so it appears legit.

The document is awfully dry... but as it describes propaganda, I& #39;ve always thought "who would fall for that?" But now it& #39;s obvious... people all around us do, and we can see the same techniques described 60+ years ago.
