Bullets or Words, Psychological Warfare (1951)
Illustrated pamphlet - Mission aims and techniques of psychological warfare
Illustrated by Milton Arthur Caniff and Herbert Block for the United States Air Force, Psychological Warfare Division in 1951. The pamphlet is a brief presentation of the mission aims and techniques of psychological warfare. The basic theory behind the use of psychological warfare as a military weapon is simple-kill the enemy's will to fight without destroying his body.
Bullets and bombs will not change the enemy's mind. It is true, he can be physically beaten and forced to surrender, but you have not captured his mind and PEACE becomes extremely difficult. Words in psychological warfare, on the other hand, are aimed at the enemy's mind-which controls his body. Therefore, if you can capture his mind-you capture his body as well and the establishment of PEACE becomes easier.
There are only two powers in the world-the sword and the spirit. In the long run the sword is always defeated by the spirit ... NAPOLEON BONAPARTE
To fight and conquer in battle is not the supreme excellence; the supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting ... SUN Tzu, Chinese military writer, 6th Century B. C.
