  • General Caldwell is absolutely correct in the use of battle videos by the insurgency. This war is and has always been about perception.



    The problem that I see is that insurgent videos are used for a number of things such as; 1)recruitment, 2) motivation,3) I/O operations and 4) the videos are used to pass battle TTPs (tactics, techniques, procedures) to other Sunni Salafi global jihadists. It would be tough for us to follow suite---trying to get soldfiers to produce their videos and to get them in the internet is a logisterical nightmare.
