US researchers engaged in biological weapons projects have turned ordinary pain relief research into the basis of pain infliction, according to an article from New Scientist. The United States Armed Forces have long tried to develop non-lethal, more “humane” weapons and market them through Tom Clancy propaganda. Actual use of non-lethal weapons doesn't reflect any sense of humanity at all. Inflicting pain and temporary paralysis is the tool of slave drivers and inquisitors. Leaving people alive, disabled and psychologically roasted is the worst possible outcome of any military engagement. The US military should do everyone a favor and stick to killing people.
