The History of Psychological War Tactics

Psychological warfare offers those without the adequate resources to an alternative way to fight their battles like Vlad, the Impaler, Dracula. The roots of his psychological taunts were founded in trauma from his childhood when she was held hostage by the Ottomans and it's thought that they learned the techniques of impalement during that time in his life. He would impale his enemies' bodies and leave them alive and leave them on whatever he impaled them on until they died. In today's ongoing war on terror, ISIS uses social media websites and other online sources to conduct psychological campaign designed to recruit followers and fighters around the world.
