“It sounds like DOD was doing something shady and definitely not in line with what they had presented to us at the time,” they said.
Twitter did not respond to a request for comment.
“It’s deeply concerning if the Pentagon is working to shape public opinion about our military’s role abroad and even worse if private companies are helping to conceal it,” said Erik Sperling, the executive director of Just Foreign Policy, a nonprofit that works toward diplomatic solutions to foreign conflicts.
“Congress and social media companies should investigate and take action to ensure that, at the very least, our citizens are fully informed when their tax money is being spent on putting a positive spin on our endless wars,” Sperling added.
Military Intelligence - The ultimate oxymoron at the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill.
We are for a strong military that is:
- loyal
- well led,
- well trained,
- better equipped then our competitors,
- obeys the constitution,
- is subject to civilian leadership
- is used sparingly,
- fights to win, then gets out.
We are not for stupidity. Too much of what the military does falls outside of these bounds, and as much as we love the military - they must be called out for it.
