The UK’s Guardian once let Ronson take over their film page for one glorious week, perhaps as a promotional bit for the film based on his book, The Men Who Stare At Goats. And in that week a wealth of articles and info was amassed regarding goats, military projects, comments by Jim Channon (the originator of US Army’s ”First Earth Battalion”).
Do yourself a favor and dive into this archived pool of knowledge!
Here’s a quote from the always fascinating Lt Col Channon’s article, The Paranormal Soldier Demystified:
Remember, the real victims of war are the young soldiers who must live a lifetime of regret and trauma because they have inadvertently killed a woman or child in the heat of a firefight. We must accept that the trauma victims of modern warfare are casualties for the rest of their lives. Not moving into danger zones is simply the most skillful thing any unit can do in many situations
