I guess we went lower when the VietCong were using small children as bombs.

The capacity of the human animal to do just completely atrocious things never fails to amaze me.

Old hat. The U.S. Navy uses doplphins.

6. I don't believe that the dolphins were used as 'suicide bombers'.

Their predominant role was detecting and neutralizing enemy divers (by attaching a harpoon or large syringe to their snouts), detecting mines, and attaching explosives to ships.

5. Germans tried that against the Russians.

They trained the dogs to take cover or look for food under tanks, military vehicles, etc.

The dogs would then be strapped with explosives and released. The plan didn't work out so well, sometimes the dogs would return and take out German vehicles, also once the Russians caught on, it was a simple matter to just shoot any dog on sight.

7. You've already gone lower
