If you're actually asking me, I'll give you the courtesy of providing an answer:
While most people look to a generic definition of "information warfare" and immediately think "propaganda" (which even then is only one small piece of IW, or what the US now calls "Information Operations" in doctrine), this actually has nothing to do with with 99% of Navy Information Warfare officers actually do.
The Navy Information Warfare Community was renamed from "Cryptology" a few years ago when everything "cyber" started getting big. Navy IW officers do signals intelligence (SIGINT), and "cyber" ("computer network operations", or CNO), to the exclusion of nearly everything else, against foreign adversary targets.
Yes, sometimes Navy IW Officers get put in billets where they are doing traditional "IO", of which even then "propaganda" is a very small piece. But that has nothing to do with the job of nearly all Navy IW officers, and even when that happens, it's all in foreign theaters (e.g., Iraq, Afghanistan).
So again, when I post on slashdot, as I have done for about 15 years, I have always done so as myself. My day job is as basically a computer geek, like many other people on slashdot, for a large university — again, all on my homepage. You might disagree with me, but that doesn't make me a paid shill. It makes me someone you disagree with.
So that's why I can say that "propaganda" has zero to do with any of my jobs — because it doesn't. And no matter what my jobs are, I'm still posting here on my own time, with my own opinions, as me.
I do find it amusing that so many on slashdot can't stomach the idea that it's possible for people to have differing views without being paid for them.
Now can you do me a favor and answer a question for me?
What about the initial post in this thread pointing out that Ecuador has a terrible record on human rights, free speech, and free press was so offensive to you? In fact, looking back at that post, there is only a single sentence where I offer my opinion. Sure, the tone of the post can certainly be seen as anti-Assange and opposed to the ideologies that Correa promotes in Ecuador, but does that position really stun you that much?
