Whose Whore of War & Horror ?

[GOLTZBORG]

( OOC: Think of Tokyo Rose, Mada Hari ( sp ), etc )

If your nation has ever been involved in a war, did the propaganda machine of your military ever resort to filling the airwaves with soft seductive voices from so-called "War Whores"; whose job was to seduce your enemy's soldiers to either stop fighting, or else to desert to your nation's side ?

If so, what was her name, and how well did she do her job ??

[Amacrei]

We have not done something like this as yet, but we wouldn't hesitate at the idea, if we thought it would help us to win. Messing with the enemy's head is a proved method.

[Fatatatutti]

We've had a few "uninvited incursions" by wing nuts who want to "save us from communism" or some such nonsense. We usually just chase them around the bush for a while until they're practically begging to surrender. Sometimes, we deliberately camp upwind of them so they can smell our cooking - Fatatatutti has the best-fed army in the world. It's easier to seduce a soldier with food than with feminine wiles. (Admittedly, our female soldiers are a bit scruffy in the bush and not necessarily at the peak of their feminine wiliness.)

[Amerikians]

I'll get the list from Wikipedia, or something...

That's a yes and a I stole them all so why bother providing names?

Fatatatutti has the best-fed army in the world.

I'd say that's a contested declaration at best, but it's a good tactical move. It has been used effectively before.

(OOC: RL examples would be the sieges of Leningrad and Stalingrad, when Soviet units built field kitchens upwind of entrapped German units.)

[New Gothland]

This is a common tactic used by Gothic military doctrine to supplement the morale degrading actions of the irregular Divisions. Like in reality this task is not preformed by individuals but rather groups of people hired specifically for their charismatic voices and other talents. This organization is known outside the nation as "The Choir of Gehenna", with males being referred to collectively as "Mr. Moonlight" and women as "The Lady in Black" or simple "The Lady". This origination operates as a sub-department of the "Department of Psychological Warfare", one of the many Government organizations under the direct control of the military. The normal operations of this group is of course the production of Pro-Gothic Propaganda that is either meant to demoralize or convince the enemy into retreating or desertion, or keep the morale of Gothic Legions in the field high. There are some rumors abound that state this organization was once also employed by the old Government and that the military selects individuals not just for their Charisma but their Psychic potency in areas like mind control and behavioral alteration however, these rumors have been dismissed by the military publicly as simple conspiracy theories.

[Ordo Drakul]

Actually, we tend to jam communications until we attack, when something suitably demoralizing is broadcast over all channels-our last invasion, it was Voltaire's Brains we sent out.

[Ruskarkand]

I think the only thing a voice from a Female Dragoon could seduce is a Male Dragoon.
And for that reason, we don't use them.
We never will.

[Triple E Lybia]

"Triple E Milly" was used by our army over the radio when we fought Greater Sahara, and she was claimed to have lured over 1000 of their solders over to our side. The war still goes on however.
