SNIP
I know of a couple chaps from Wales who have made eyes at sheep and........... but enough of that.
SNIP

Enough indeed. But IIRC, one of the martial arts masters in the book possessed a skill that would surprise even the keenest courter of sheep:
He could stare at a hamster and it would explode.

I am not sure what the military application of this is at present, but were the Talib ever to unleash a squadron of Jihad rodents against Bastion, we would know who to call.

There was a documentary a few ago about the CIA's MK Ultra mind control programme with actual footage released under the Freedom of Information Act and it was pretty spooky ( pardon the pun) stuff, partly run by a Green Beret Colonel Michael Aquino a convicted kid fiddler and leader of a Satanic cult ( if you Google his name it throws up some interesting stuff) alot of which consisted of the feeding of LSD to troops and telling them to walk through walls and other such stuff, it also featured a Royal Marine unit being given LSD without their knowledge whilst on an exercise and filming the effects, the officer was in tears , marines laughing a couple were stuck up trees, its sounds amusing but to watch was quite disturbing.........especially when it said because they were testing effects on troops ability to fight on acid the dosages given had led to long term brain damage or suicide in a number of cases.
The programme also featured the "death stare" again with actual test footage but nothing much happened results wise.

I seem to recall reading about an air-dropped chemical agent which would turn hetero men into raving poofters. The idea was that this would be released over enemy units who would then be so busy making love, not war, that they could easily be killed or captured.

However, I suspect even the Pentagon's most hawkish generals would have found that too distasteful a weapon to use...but if not....was it ever tested? And if so...on which unit?
