There are. That's the U.S. Army. So the U.S. Army is kind of subdivided. You have like the Special Operations Command and then you have a bunch of stuff under there and PSYOPs falls under the Special Operations Command. So it's mostly Army. When you think about any PSYOPs, you're going to think Army. That's when the Army is involved 100%. So that branch, I didn't start until I was a civilian.

I got out. I'd been developing all these programs my whole life to try to improve all of our intelligence training. And I realized maybe halfway through my career, and you can imagine when somebody says like, oh, this is military grade. If you talk to somebody who was in the military, that's the opposite. Like we're thinking like, oh, that's a piece of shit.

But because I thought like all of this intelligence training has to be cool. It's got to be like Jason Bourne level persuasion and influence training and stuff. Come to find out taking the class, even going to like recruiting school to recruit people.

the the training was like give people firm handshakes look them in the eye use their name when you're talking to them maybe touch them on the shoulder every once in a while it was like it was like dale carnegie right that's all it was right and i i was stunned stunned that that was the best we had to offer that was the best that we could give an intelligence operative and that was the reason that

You know, we had some of those terror attacks. So I started training psyops in 2019 was the first time. And that just training psyops, they soaked it up so much because they were starving for some kind of training like that for so long because they've been going off of these PowerPoints that say, like, get to know the person you're talking to. And that's it. It doesn't say how.

How do you do that? How do you get them to connect to you? It just says, well, get to know them. Ask open-ended questions. Like the most basic stuff.
