These days I have to work a lot of hours so I have less time to write but this one subject merits a quick thread - because it can illustrate the how's and why's of an influence operation very well.

“Be part of something bigger than yourself”?
When it comes to persuasion, values win.
And the U.S. Army’s X posts prove it.
