Well that's certainly ignorant bullshit.  The U.S. intelligence
community was the /principal/ funder of many aspects of the social
sciences (so-called) in the U.S. in the 1950s and 60s; MKULTRA was
only the most bizarre of many State sponsored social psychology
projects in that era.  Prior to that, the OSS employed psychiatrists
and psychologists in an effort to predict and manipulate the behavior
of key Axis figures in World War II.  Did Sigmund Freud's nephew Eddy
Bernays start consulting with his uncle before of after his meteoric
rise to the top ranks in Allied propaganda during World War I?

Searches including the phrase "human terrain" will disclose huge DoD
investments in weaponizing social psychology relative to the so-called
Global War On Terror.  Somewhere around here I have slides from a
presentation on a multi-generational strategy for conquering the
"cognitive terrain" in Middle Eastern societies that stubbornly resist
assimilation into Western cultural attitudes and behavioral norms.

"first-ever"

Yeah right.
