The article presents an analysis of a few selected PSYOP products. However, for this work I checked all the products available during the Vietnam War, the National Catalogue of PSYOP Materials Joint U.S. Public Affairs Office, BACM Research. I have also analyzed the source texts as well as the opinions of professionals involved in psychological operations conducted during the Vietnam War. I estimated the impact of these products on the subconscious and conscious levels. In this way I could evaluate the effectiveness of these products and their adaptation to the cultural values of the Vietnamese. This allowed me to analyze the effectiveness of a methodology for creating these products. In my opinion, U.S. PSYOP product development and methodology were imperfect, and the cost of the war in Vietnam would be much lower if this methodology could have been adapted to cultural values of Vietnamese.
