PBR (Patrol Boat River) in Vietnam War (Picture I) |

We have all heard the story of the "Ghost tape 10", what was the record, what heard the horror movie. In this tape were messages, that if the Viet Cong fighters would not get home, their souls got in hell. This tape seemed to be useless against the Viet Cong, but sometimes it was used for some other use. In those river boat-operations in Mekong delta-area, this particular tape was used to cover other tapes. Those tapes were messages, where the Viet Cong-fighters were called to the beach to take the Soviet delivered equipment, and when those guerillas came, the gunboats and helicopters opened the fire.
Also, the "Ghost tape 10" were sometimes equipped with the subliminal messages, what have simultaneously repeated the messages, where the Viet Cong warriors claimed to be protected by the spirits, and also there were messages, that "The Viet Cong fighters must not care about enemy bullets and the training would make them bulletproof". That kind of loudspeakers claimed to drop near the training centers for making enemy's self-esteem twisted. And that might cause some losses for the enemy.
The third reason, why the "Ghost tape 10" was used, is that the beaches of the Mekong River were targeted high power ultra- and infrasound, what mission was to cause a headache for enemy troops. And also those sound weapon's mission was to deny the enemy from sleep, what made them tired, and then the CT-teams could kill them easily. But I don't know about the influence on those things. But the tired person is always the easier target.
The similar systems are planned to use in the hostage rescue missions. But this methodology has terrible ways to misuse it. It can use for provocating the riots, and that would give reason to call the riot control team to attack against those demonstrators. In this case, some mercenaries can target this kind of system against legal protesters, and then the using force against those people would be acceptable. In the Waco-siege from 1993, when the religious team committed suicide, one reason could be that after the David Koresh speaks some FBI agent said accidentally in the wrong moment words "do it" and then those people committed the suicide. Or in the worst scenarios, somebody has changed the tapes, for causing the massacre where 76 persons have died in the fire.
