Army plans to turn soldiers into telepaths

Even on small scale operations.. make sure they are trained to even control their thoughts.. Or thinking of the wrong thing at the wrong time will mess up a lot

sounds like a good place to start trimming the federal budget. I'd rather the money be spent on decent base housing. You know, something useful.

They would probably have to practice meditation to learn how to control their thoughts. Imagine someone with OCD with the cap on I agree with Tyr the Warrior that it will probably be for special operations.

In my opinion, this would be used for very specialized teams on ATS missions. In which case these men would already be masters of controlling their thoughts.

from my understanding they only intend to use the part of the brain that controls speech. so i think as long as people have at least enough control not to think out a full word or sentence they should be fine. so its not like your deepest thoughts and feelings will be communicated to any one. but still an amazing technology none the less and yet again whats the first application for it? yep its gonna be used so we can better kill each other with it.

What's wrong with a radio? Better yet what's wrong with speaking? Ugh, why am I acting like this is even possible?

We need to spend those "Trillions" that are bankrupting our country...on ways to improve the world, not destroy it. A global insanity is what war is....nothing more. It is a racket, a way for t...

Money much better spent elsewhere. And we wonder why we have a trillion dollar debt. Give me a break. It's like giving your ten year old a hundred bucks in the dollar store and saying, be sure to spend all of this. Never know what you are going to get for your money.

Science is NEVER a bad investment and FYI we are in debt because of "less government, less regulation". this is a great technology they are pursuing. the only problem with it is its intended use. we need to use are technology to help solve the problems of the world and make it a better place for every one. we don't need to be usin...
