Don't know who and why someone would say that. The war witnessed a lot of "Propaganda leaflet" droppings by allied aircraft, as well as "loudspeakers" being used by circling aircraft over suspected hostile territories; but those activities were also used in WWII.

The only real intense psych-war was conducted on US POWs in North Vietnam. But again, that was nothing new. Psych-warfare was performed on prisoners of war in Korea, WWII, and more than likely in all or most wars prior to them. The primary mission of psychological warfare is to gain military intelligence. Secondary missions are to defeat the enemy, such as influencing them to surrender, etc. Both military Intel & defeating the enemy are and have always been military actions.
