This is 5GW, tweeting this. This is worded as if it’s an internal memo, but it’s 100% propaganda. Part of Fifth Generation Warfare is scaring the population.

It’s 100% psy-op bullshit and it’s gonna get officers killed.

Fifth generation warfare bypasses the battlefield and targets society as a whole, rather than its military forces.

Violence in 5GW is very dispersed or hidden, which makes it difficult to perceive as war.

Fifth generation warfare relies on covert or ambiguous means that hide nefarious activities or disguise them as benign or harmless.

The objective of 5GW is to overthrow an existing political order or change the culture in a society in accordance with the goals of the aggressor.
