When ABC News really, really wants to know about robolobsters, mind-controlled sharks, mechanical pack mules, and terror-fighting dolphins, they know just who to call…
“Animals have been part of military operations since there have been military operations,” said Noah Shachtman of DefenseTech.org. “They have been the fighting man’s best friend for generations and in modern-day warfare that’s still the case.”
While there are no sharks yet in uniform and cyborg insects are still in development, Shachtman finds some encouragement in the military’s more unusual programs.
“The Defense Department is what, $600 billion a year?” he asked. “That leaves a lot of room for all kinds of kooky projects. I wouldn’t say there’s an order from Donald Rumsfeld to build mechanical bees or something like that, but especially in DARPA, there’s a desire to explore and freedom to look into things that may or may not work out militarily.“
He believes that, although many of DARPA’s programs are scrapped before they’re seen through, it’s one of the few places in government research where dreaming is considered an asset.
“I wouldn’t interpret that to mean we’re going to have an army of dolphins and robotic bears attacking the enemy anytime soon,” Shachtman joked.
Read thing whole thing here.
Animals may be “the fighting man’s best friend”, but the human animal clearly does NOT return such friendship.
The military conducts painful, agonizing “tests” on Animals all the time.
Many Americans were disgusted when footage of Al Qaeda gassing Dogs was broadcast on US television.
What many of those Americans dont realize is that our very own military does the same tests…and even worse ones, on Animals.
Who are the “good guys” and who are the “bad guys” when it comes to helping Animals?
Answer: All nations are terrorists and BAD GUYS when it comes to the human animal’s treatment of their fellow living beings.
Yet I dont see us going to war to help the truly innocent among us, who are suffering and dying.
Why?
Because the very military that would fight such a war is the very military that are the terrorists.
My negative, as my boss
Three years ago, after friends introduced, I played the Rappelz game. At that time, I dazed and confused, I like to go my own way, I have a lot of rappelz rupees, but I became the most evil villains in the game. Until I encountered her, I found the meaning of survival.
The friend took me to the game, but she own was leaving the game. A person to game is boring, every day, I only know to upgrade and earn ro zeny. I can not sad dot this mess of feelings and moving. Once, the two boys for me quarreled utterly, until I leaved and tool sad. Later, I found a boy to married, I think perhaps all this to change, and I pray to become a reality, a few days after he disappeared. A person was playing a marriage number, what would it have taken place.
Later, in January of this year, I have entered into this long hoped for world. Following in their previous game, I have some experience, at first I bought some RF cp to arm my number, so I grew up gradually. Later, I joined the empire of darkness, I recognize some friends. Later matured, I separated from the darkness; to join a trade union has just established a new, expanding trade union began a journey, and I recognized a lot of friends.
Looking back at the past, in those days, we played together; we have no much rappelz money, we have no need equipment and no senior friends too us, but I am still playing very happy. Rappelz left everywhere in our laughter. There is only one reason is that I have her around, I would meet, everything becomes unimportant. One thing I feel very sorry, that is when I married her, mo gorgeous fireworks, mo friends of blessing. Now I have heart, I feel wronged her, I am sorry to her.
I always adhere to and keep a distance from everyone. Until now, I did not have a true friend, although I was a lonely, although I did not like the other players that they have many friends send them cheap zeny, I must be rely on myself, at least I will not hurt anybody, and perhaps this is kind of happiness.
