Answer 6

People remember because dramatic and traumatic events are memorable. Brainwashing is most successful when the person being brainwashed is exposed to something dramatic or traumatic. This is not a political statement, nor am I intending to imply that there was some conspiracy (although there was, in that two people planning something is a conspiracy). Think of how boot camp works.
