Rolling Stone has another blockbuster about a general in our 21st century all-volunteer army. This time it's Lt. Gen. William Caldwell, who is in charge of training the Afghan troops so that they can take over when we leave (if we ever do). Basically, Caldwell directed a psy-ops group that was supposed to work on our enemies to work on us. The job of the group according to Caldwell was to convince visiting dignitaries, such as senators and congressmen, to give Caldwell and his forces more money and support. Essentially, Caldwell wanted the group to use propaganda on their fellow Americans, something that has been prohibited for years and years. Fortunately, the group rebelled.
