Of course, some forces are immune to this sort of
silliness.

Turkish soldiers in the Korean War showed a remarkable
resistance to brainwashing.  Partially because no one
in the Chinese Army spoke Turkish, partially because
they weren't bright enough, but most importantly,
because they were convinced of their own place in the
world and the rightness of their Turkish and Islamic
worldview.  Only those raised in liberal societies
have the delusion that every worldview is equally
valid, and hence are susceptible to persuasion.  A
force with an ideology that flatly denies the validity
of opposing viewpoints will be very hard to crack.
