Military used pigs in blasts to test armor
That's no way to treat a police officer.
Military used pigs in blasts to test armor - USATODAY.com
y Tom Vanden Brook, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON — Military researchers have dressed live pigs in body armor and strapped them into Humvee simulators that were then blown up with explosives to study the link between roadside bomb blasts and brain injury.
For an 11-month period that ended in December, researchers subjected pigs and rats to about 200 blasts, according to Pentagon documents and interviews. The explosions have ranged in intensity, wounding some of the pigs and killing others. Roadside bombs are the top killer of U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan...........

Poor little piggies, and I thought the story about the "Big bad wolf" was cruel!

If they could use the moon for nuke target practice they would.....they are part of the war machine that has rolled through the history of man since the dawn of our existence the yang to creativity and inventions yin, if we could lay down all arms and settle our differences through yo mama jokes we would go full circle back to blowing each other up.....I've given up on man and any hope for nirvana on Earth, there will never exist a Utopia but for only those few moments in each of our lives when we realize it for ourselves.....
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

The military industrial complex must continue to crank out new inventions of death and destruction, if they were to stop a lot of people would be out of business and be out of trillions of dollars. Shit, who am I kidding, they would just invent some type of death by motion gizmo or some type of death stare or something...

It would definitely be disastrous to fire a bunch of people who know how to manufacture weapons of mass destruction.......

True, very true! I guess there's no hope for that utopia, huh? Originally Posted by maniclion "We must, indeed, all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately".

It absolutely SUCKS that they've been forced to use such dignified animals as pigs. They used to be able to use disgusting little Democrats.
All ya's all can piss up a rope. You're just jealous you didn't think of it first.
Rules? You mean we have RULES for that???
