Despite knowing the past accounts, people still forget what they know and accept what they are told. Even Winston Smith, who despises the way others blatantly accept Big Brother’s manipulation, cannot remember all of the facts that the regime has distorted, such as his life before the regime takeover. In a similar manner, literature is used in Marcus Luttrell’s

Introduction Before I joined the Army, one of my mentors sat me down, looked me sternly in the face and said, “Even though you are not going into the infantry, even though you might not deploy, at some point in time the Army may put you in a situation and ask that you take another person’s life.

Acquiring a key critical weapon system that the enemy is developing in order to design a countermeasure for it, has been a necessity for espionage operations in order to give an edge for military units and operations.
