Karen,
Rumor control is a classified Official Department of Defense think tank in the Pentagon. It is manned by Top Men and many service people and civilians.
It is entrusted to start and control the various rumors that go around both the military and the civilian parts of this great nation of ours.
Members of this necessary organization in the service may be in the ranks of private all the way to full generals and it is accepted as fact that they have close ties with an Army organization known as the Sp/4 Mafia.
In the civilian sector there are many designated rumor mongers walking around in all walks of life. Some may be your friends and neighbors, both civilian or military. But wherever you find them they can always be counted on to both pick up and spread a rumor at a moments notice.
Rumors are very much a part of military life. They effect troop morale and fighting fitness. They also effect the morale of the average citizen and give the otherwise useless busybodies of our great nation something very important to do. The contributions made by our otherwise useless busybodies can't be overrated for their valuable contributions of keeping a dying rumor alive and healthy.
Our fighting men also rely on rumor control to keep their minds in tip-top shape by wondering about and fretting over the rumors spread and by pondering over which rumors are true or not.
Top Men insure that while the majority of these valuable rumors may prove to be entirely false, enough have to be proven to be true to insure the policy of 'Keep 'em guessing' stays solidly in place.
Keep 'em Guessing' a product of the Pentagon Think Tank designed to manipulate the troops. It can get them fighting mad at times or relaxingly overjoyed at others. This, of course can have quiet a bearing on the outcome of battles.
The 'Keep 'em Guessing' policy also works itself down to a tactical level. An army trained by rumor control to keep guessing what is going to happen next will do that to the enemy with spectacular results. They will do to the enemy what is totally unexpected and has been the source of many military victories.
In the civilian world, companies trained this way often out maneuver their competition resulting in huge profits.
Rumor Control, as little know to the civilian population has a great effect on us all.
