US Centcom
Media and the Armed Forces
The new way of making war, the projection of “soft power”, is cynical and amoral in involving and persuading millions of people. The lords of this new media war are the communication and image experts closelytied to political power, producing a sophisticated kind of communication incomparison with classic state propaganda. Having great financial resources they use the same witty psychology employed by advertisement groups to successfully launch a product on the market.
