“Never believe all your own side’s propaganda, but don’t start believing the enemy’s.” – Unknown (heard from David Weber)

I have to apologize, as this quote is based on my recollection, which may be inexact. My apologies. That said, I heard this or something close to it at a panel on military science fiction.

The concept is that you should neither uncritically accept what people say about the enemy nor let your doubts undermine your devotion to the cause. The Hun is not necessarily a horrendous inhuman monster, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t fight him and do everything in your power to secure victory.

I thought the quote showed a considerable deal of insight, especially from the perspective of an author or observer. What do you think?
