Gen. William Caldwell, who is in charge of American troops in Afghanistan, last year ordered the Secret Handling Division minds wishes to induce a faction of U.S. Senators U.S. military: more money and more troops to war. Disclosure was made by Rolling Stone Magazine.

The order was given illegally to a team of soldiers specializing in "psychological operations" to manipulate the U.S. senators, wrote in Thursday's edition of the famous magazine, which he quotes Lt. Col. Michael Holmes, head of the Operational Intelligence Division, U.S. Army: "My job is to play with people's minds, the enemy will make him want to behave like us (U.S. Army). But I can do this our people. If you ask me to manipulate their own senators and congressman, already racing so far. " The list is long handle visitors, writes Rolling Stone Magazine. It will include the head of the U.S. Army, the head of the department allocates funds for war, the Czech ambassador in Afghanistan as well as five senators, including John McCain, and several leaders of opinion in the U.S..

Rolling Stone noted that the incident shows the desperation of U.S. troops in Afghanistan to get funds for a war where American presence is increasingly criticized. As defined by the U.S. Department of Defense, "psychological operations" that is using propaganda and psychological tactics, to influence thought and behavior, should be used exclusively on foreign troops and hostile. Moreover, lt. gen. Caldwell is a controversial figure. In the past, he advocated that the military can use Wikipedia and blogs to effectively influence the American people and foreign. It should also be lobbied to rewrite the definition that gives the Department of Defense psychological operations, presumably to eliminate the "should be used exclusively on foreign and hostile troops, but failed.

In January 2011 Caldwell asked Obama administration more troops in Afghanistan with 70,000 soldiers and two billion dollars to train. If approved this request, the cost of the war in Afghanistan will reach $ 11 billion, money borne by ordinary Americans. And one of the main supporters of Caldwell's application is Senator Carl Levin, who visited the camp in Kabul last year.
