Perception engineering:
The Bush administration enlists the advertising industry into the war effort,
in order to win the sympathies of the Middle East.

There was an item last year about the Army recruting (ha) a top ad firm to help boost their falling recruitment numbers. I was a little concerned to see these popping up in (I know they're not just for kids any more, but still) comic books. The US Army website, www.goarmy.com , had an interesting feature that should make conspiracy theorists sit up: large cash incentives for those who finish their basic training and ship out before September 26th (or thereabouts.) Complete with 'You may already be a winner!' advertising language. This was before the crashes on the 11th, of course.
You may already be a wheezing, impotent, near-death veteran, more like. Gulf War Syndrome? There's no such thing, just ask the UK and US gubberments.
