Its a funny film (the state the comms operators got into makes me think of what happens to partylines here :groucho:) but it also shows you why you should treat acid with respect
it might do that to trained soldiers with loads of agression inside them but I’ve seen the flipside- it can make relatively peaceful people become violent – at one NYE party in my old city it caused two of my oldest friends to fight over a 6 year old grudge we all thought had been forgotten about, and I’ve heard of other similar horror stories..
I’d like to one day see the actual case notes about the project (although I bet they are highly classified)- in particular about the bloke who didn’t seem to be enjoying himself.
It doesn’t actually look like he’s properly freaking out and has to be restrained or anything like that, he still seems in control of himself and its more like he’s just worried because the rest of his unit (including the officers) have lost their discipline.
IMO it seems more as if he’s thinking “christ on a bike, if this was a real war and the enemy is advancing we’d just get fucking massacred”…
