Paul,

You may well be right, but what kind of bunch are we if we can't be
honnest. I do not have to please someone by telling a lie about basic
facts. In the military you are brainwashed, period. Since the military
have a CRM program, the definition will be erroneous if we do not talk
about brainwashing. If you really have a problem with this otherwise
correct term then give me one. Keep in mind the Dr. Morphew wants a
concise definition.

Thanks
