Sources in the Army and apparently in a position to know, tell the <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.wsj.com\/washwire\/2011\/02\/25\/army-gen-caldwells-accuser-had-no-psy-ops-training\/\">Wall Street Journal<\/a> that Holmes wasn&#8217;t trained in psychological operations.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The U.S. Army\u2019s Special Operations Command announced Friday that their special warfare center has no record of training Lt. Col. Michael Holmes in \u201cpsychological operations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In an interview, Lt. Col. Holmes said he received training in information operations and how to use the psychological operation techniques but never claimed to have been trained as a psy-ops officer. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And the politicians involved told <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/2011\/02\/25\/military-officials-dispute-claim-army-unit-directed-manipulate-senators\/?test=latestnews\">Fox News<\/a> that they didn&#8217;t feel brainwashed;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>U.S. lawmakers have played down these alleged operations, suggesting they were not influenced to do anything they didn&#8217;t already want to do. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blackfive.net\/main\/2011\/02\/the-men-who-stare-at-goats-senators.html\">Blackfive<\/a> said, Holmes has been sitting at home since September stewing in his own juices, and now, nearly six months later, it&#8217;s worthy of a Rolling Stones article and an investigation. It sounded ridiculous to me when I first read Hastings&#8217; article and I still think that the only operation going on here is one to discredit Hastings and apparently Hastings is more than willing to cooperate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like I said the other day, it&#8217;s beginning to look more like the Rolling Stone Magazine &hellip; <a title=\"Caldwell&#8217;s accuser FOS?\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=22412\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Caldwell&#8217;s accuser FOS?<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-military-issues"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=22412"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22412\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=22412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=22412"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=22412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
