During World War II which of the following did the U.S. military plan to use as guided weapons?
Correct answer: Bats

Sounds like a plan Wile E. Coyote would dream up!

Katyo3, another example of the stupidity of war!!

This is the first time I heard of this and I lived in Carsbad for many years. Interesting.

Player #914556, I agree that some Wars are pointless, but don't agree that All Wars are pointless. WW1 and WW2, Revolutionary War, are examples of Necessary. If you are an American, your very right to criticize is protected due to a War that was fought. Pray we never will need another War. But the power hungry, egotitists are born and wreck havick with peace. And don't get me started on the polititans....

I am a Female Navy Veteran. I am laughing so hard, I can barely text. If only that was the stupidest idea I ever heard of. I agree with the Wile E. Coyote comment!

what's in it for the bat?

Joy
That's hilarious! Holy bat shenanigans, Batman!

whitesloth91
That's so cruel

Nutshell
So they intended to target random civilians at home... sounds like an act of terrorism, not warfare.

Montana Lady
I fail to see the humor here, I think it sounds horrific.
There was no military target, we were just torturing animals with the intent of roasting both them and random civilian families (innocent women and children) alive!!!
Our military got what it deserved with that plan.

incredible mister Limpet, and the THRUMM

Thatβs insidious, and ridiculous. Glad it backfired! LOL

Player #46965921
Maybe the Marine Corps passed the bats to the Batman movie producers?

Player #65746695
CRUELTY to animals

Nel
Never knew this!

Zanne
there was an experiment using cats to assassinate a target, tried in Russia but failed miserably because cats don't follow directions.
the exploding cat was supposed to take out a man sitting on a park bench, but it exploded out in the street, as I remember. That must have freaked people out!

Player #38618593
Oh, blowing up animals - how disgustingly mean can you get?

Higgzy
jerezaa, lol get outta my head! X-D

AndUThoughtIWassmart
they are lucky PETA wasn't around then.

Buzzem
Had to check this one out via Google. The Wikipedia article about this is fascinating!

Suekirider, Eleanor just knew the guy who came up with it, she wasn't involved.

Player #30688663
Wait, so the poor little bats burn to death during the delivery of the payload? Wow.

Player #15018981
I think Leonardo had the same idea when imprisoned!

Player. Ty
Makes sense

hedaben

Duneboy
Sounds kind of batty to me

JimmyLovesQL
Was The Road Runner involved?

You'd have to be a real sick a$$hole to think up something like this.

Player #2243781
Player #8008224gato, so true.

Suekirider
Eleanor Roosevelt was a smart lady, so I am surprised she was involved.

JasonR1972, navy trains dolphins to carry bombs

Snypan
Um.... Sir... there appears to be a dark cloud headed our way at a fast rate of speed, copy over

Player ninaraewln
That's almost hilarious, it's as ridiculous as using dolphins or any other animal as a weapon! They aren't ours to use in that manner.
