The Men Who Stare at Goats/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Straw Man Has a Point]]: Bill Django searches for a way to "make their gentleness their strength" and learn how to blend peace and non-violence into the military, and minimize the killing and violence of war. Toward this goal, he builds a disorganized, cloistered, mostly ineffective idiosyncratic mess. Then the horrible and nasty [[Big Bad|Hooper]] steps in, takes control of the unit away from him, and creates from it a company which.. uses psychological research, propaganda techniques, and gadgetry to devise non-violent and peaceful methods to minimize the killing and violence of war. Hooper's work seemed much more promising toward keeping people from being senselessly killed and terrorized, and seemed very close to many of the ideals that had been expressed by Lyn.

** If by "non-violent and peaceful methods," you mean "torture and brainwashing," (not to mention [[Driven to Suicide|driving a cadet into killing himself]]), then, yes, he uses such methods.
