Hmmm, I missed the long tag? I can't believe that.

Great stuff in here by the way, weird stuff about the New Earth Battalion which was inspired by New Age thinking following the withdrawal from Vietnam. Lt Colonel Jim Channon recommended that soldiers carry lambs into occupied areas and have speakers to broadcast friendly messages.
This influence carried over into the use of loud/discordant music as a siege or torture tactic and Ronson's documentary links this to Waco and Abu Ghraib in Iraq.

And apparently the goat staring is real - one soldier was able to stop the heart of a goat by just wishing it....
