  Maybe I'm an outlier here but I thought that video was incredibly well produced and properly aimed at those who they want to listen. It's marketing 101 stuff.

  They aren't lying to anyone about what they do and if you find that a bit off-colour then there's a fair chance you aren't the target audience.

  There's absolutely nothing unsettling about this at all for anyone other than a few young naive journalists suddenly learning about how the world works.

  Video was well done for sure. Great editing, killer use of music, good scene selection and incremental reveal of message. However PSYOPS doesn’t to the cool guy stuff shown like CQB.
