Psychological Warfare

Apparently, South Korean officials are pulling out all the stops to punish the North. They're using psychological attack methods.

That's right, a country full of clones and people with brains ranging from blocks of wood to Commodore 64 computer chips, is forging ahead with psychological warfare.

From the story:

'South Korea's military resumed radio broadcasts airing Western music, news and comparisons between the South and North Korean political and economic situations late Monday, according to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The military also planned to launch propaganda leaflets Tuesday to inform North Koreans about the ship sinking.

In coming weeks, South Korea also will install dozens of propaganda loudspeakers and towering electronic billboards along the heavily armed land border between the two Koreas to send messages enticing communist soldiers to defect to the South.

The action, which ends a six-year suspension, is expected to draw an angry response from North Korea. The country's military already warned Monday it would fire at any propaganda facilities installed in the Demilitarized Zone.'

I LOVE this! loudspeakers playing across the border and leaflets. They must really be taking a page from the Korean Election Handbook. I actually hope the North soldier do shoot those speakers. The less speakers in the country, the less available to wake people up at odd hours to blast election messages of "hope, future city, education and culture."

A reminder to family and friends back home: Don't worry a bit.
