War

Retired Sargeant major Herb Friedman in an article entitled PSYOP MISTAKES? talks about the psychological operations as carried out by American loud speaker personnel in the late stages of the Korean War. The Chinese were so irritated by the loud speaker specialists that they placed a bounty of 10,000 dollars in gold on their heads. What was quite astonishing is that the American infantry, as well, couldn’t stand the loud noise coming from the speakersand would ”on several occasions would cut the wires from the generators to the loudspeakers or filled the loudspeakers with snow”
According to SGM Herb Friedman “The American loudspeaker teams did have a secret weapon to get them out of a jam when their broadcasts stirred up a hornet’s nest.”
He quotes Charles H. Briscoe  in “Volunteering for Combat: Loudspeaker Psywar in Korea,” Veritas, volume 1, number 1.

For some reason, the Americans and Chinese loved listening to Doris Day. When our efforts had really stirred them up, resulting in artillery and mortar barrages and machine gun fire being directed at us, and in turn from the American lines, we quickly switched to Doris to quiet things down…Only Doris Day worked.

An Irish blond:Jim Gray (UDA member)

James Gray, (1958 - October 4, 2005), was the east Belfast leader of the Ulster Defence Association in Northern Ireland, an illegal loyalist paramilitary group. He was often nicknamed “Doris Day” for his flamboyant dress sense and dyed blonde hair. He was also the part owner of several bars in east Belfast.
Gray was expelled from the organisation in March 2005, for unknown reasons. In April that year, he was arrested whilst driving; several thousand pounds were found in the car, and the Police Service of Northern Ireland believed he was intending to travel to the Republic of Ireland with what they suspected to be the proceeds of drug dealing and extortion. Gray was charged with money laundering, and held in custody until September when he was released on bail. During this time, police raids on a number of locations brought in thousands of documents related to this investigation. At the same time the prominent Belfast estate agent Philip Johnston was also arrested under suspicion of money laundering.
He was shot and killed on his doorstep shortly thereafter, by two unknown gunmen. The involvement of other loyalist factions was suspected, fuelling speculation that he was murdered through fears of him making an agreement with the police to expose his former associates in the UDA. He had previously been shot in the face in 2002, described by the police as “loosely related” to the death of a Loyalist Volunteer Force leader in a feud between loyalist groups.
