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

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!

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

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.

Maybe the Marine Corps passed the bats to the Batman movie producers?

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!

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.
