The US Army Special Operations Command expands PsyOp recruitment, targeting 'nerds' with persuasion expertise.

The US Army Special Operations Command seeks more enlistees for its Psychological Operations (PsyOp) groups, focusing on recruiting 'nerds' with expertise in persuasion and influence, known as psychological warfare (PsyWar). Non-traditional recruitment methods are used to reach individuals who think and live outside the norm. A haunting recruitment video titled "Ghost in the Machine: Psywar" was released in May 2022.
