N O T E
La suddivisione del globo terrestre in sei comandi di teatro da parte di un'unica nazione, con un'unica amministrazione, rimane sempre uno spettacolo alquanto sconcertante!
Degno di nota č il numero di reparti delle Forze Armate statunitensi dedicato all' "Intelligence"; la voce "Intelligence" racchiude molteplici attivitā: raccolta di informazioni, disinformazione, guerra psicologica, propaganda a proprio favore, propaganda a sfavore degli avversari, finanziamenti a governi amici in cambio di favori, guerriglia, controguerriglia e ... chissā quant'altro!
