Text: 2 Corinthians 10:3-6
Psychological Operations or Psychological Warfare, known as Psy-Ops, is a form of warfare as old as the art of war itself. "Perhaps one of the earliest examples of Psychological Warfare is attributed to Alexander the Great of Macedonia. Alexander had conquered most of the known world during his reign.
With each region he conquered he left behind soldiers to keep control of the newly conquered area. Eventually, there came a point when Alexander realized that he had stretched his army too thin and was now in danger of losing to a large opposing force." "Alexander's only option was to retreat and regroup forces with the armies he left behind.
However, to do so would certainly incite the opposing force to pursue him and very possibly capture or defeat his now smaller army." "Alexander knew if he could intimidate the opposing force, they would be too frightened to follow his army. Alexander instructed his armorers to make several oversized armor breastplates and helmets that would fit "giants", men 7 to 8 feet tall. He also had the camps and furniture constructed to fit much larger men."
"As Alexander and his forces withdrew during the night they left behind the oversized armor. The oversized armor was of course found by the opposing force who then believed that they had come close to engaging in a battle with giants. A battle that they surely would have lost. The oversized armor coupled with the stories they had heard from travelers of the savagery of Alexander's army caused enough doubt and fear that they elected not to pursue Alexander's army."
He was messing with their minds, trying to get in their heads.
