  Nothing particularly prevents disinformation from reaching your own side. The more obvious it is that a channel is "false", the less likely you are to fool the enemy, but the more "real" the channel is the more likely you are to fool yourself. A study of the history of war will show armies generally have a hard enough time inculcating themselves with cultures that will prevent them from deliberately lying to themselves as it is.
