Abstract
This paper outlines my personal experiences with the use of qualitative methods in the Department of Defense in the area of International Communications. This paper presents an overview of the history of qualitative methods use and misuse and how the DoD has shown a preference for quantitative methods even though often they are actually qualitative measures that have been "quantified". I posses over 25 years of govenment experience and have presented on this previously within the US Government.
