Comrade+Olgivy

== = = = = = = =Comrade Olgivy= is an imaginary character designed by Winston after the last 'hero' grew stale. Consider the advantage a government gains with a figure like Olgivy, especially in a time of war. Then, learn how this technique is not foreign to modern day efforts to boost nationalism. Both Jessica Lynch and Pat Tillman became the focus of American media at a time when support for the war was at a low point. Their stories are heroic, courageous, and bring a tear to the eye of any red blooded American. The only problem is...their stories were made up.

Assignment:
