Can you provide some exposition on the full version and/or point us to a video link?

LadyBug, I understand where you're coming from, but I can't say I agree. I don't have time to do an informative writeup, but I had to watch the full version of the USAF LSD experiments and then comment on the process and results. I certainly wasn't sifting this video for giggles, I was hoping to add some info, but I got distracted trolling drforeverclear. *sigh*. I had been hoping to make this more of an informative post, rather than something "for posterity" or "you need to see this" or whatnot.

To this end, I am posting a documentary about the Milgram experiment and others.

At least that cat wasn't this cat:

Or was it? They do look similar.

excerpt from my profile, here:

The avatar pic is my only tattoo. I got it done while I was in the USAF. It's an icon of a sword, from the 1981 animated classic, 'Heavy Metal'.
Only, since she was a chick, and had it on the left side of her neck, pointing down... And I'm a dude... I had it done on the right side, pointing up...
Yes, it's symbolic on every level you're thinking of right now. Cool, eh?

As I recall, The USAF had a far spanning problem with hot dog buff(B-52) pilots at this time...LOTS of near misses punctuated by this tragedy.

Hi! I'm nobody here! (Yet?)

I don't even have a decent channel icon, so I just threw that together. It's my only tattoo. I got it done while I was in the USAF. It's an icon of a sword, from the 1981 animated classic, 'Heavy Metal'. Only, since she was a chick, and had it on the left side of her neck, pointing down... And I'm a dude... I had it done on the right side, pointing up... Yes, it's symbolic on every level you're thinking of right now. Cool, eh? Nice meeting you!

It's called an insurgency tactic.

It COULD count as a disaster... if you're near the propane.

Actually, my USAF anniversary video I submitted (which expired) to the Army Navy Air Force collective does not show. (?)

RED FLAG is an advanced aerial combat training exercise hosted at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. Since 1975, air crew from the United States Air Force (USAF) and other U.S. military branches and allies take part in the exercises, each of which is six weeks in duration.

The Red Flag exercises, conducted in four-to-six cycles a year by the 414th Combat Training Squadron of the 57th Fighter Wing, are very realistic aerial war games. The purpose is to train pilots from the U.S., NATO and other allied countries for real combat situations. This includes the use of "enemy" hardware and live ammunition for bombing exercises within the Nellis Air Force Range.

I believe the USAF was at the time investigating different drugs for use on the battlefield with the purpose of incapacitating enemy troops. This is only one of the many experiments they performed. What you really should know about this is they gave lsd to unwitting soldiers in massive doses also. They also performed airborne dispersal of lsd over (i believe) San Francisco dosing unsuspecting citizens. They also experimented with different dispersal techniques in (again, if memory serves) NYC. Such as dropping powder filled lightbulbs into subway tunnels and measuring how far the powder travelled.

@drforeverclear: You have videos of the USAF experimenting with cat-burning, too???

...oh well, changed back to original, enough buffoonery from this video. LadyBug, you win this round.

I might be missing something here: why the hell was the USAF investigating LSD?

Think I'd agree with Goofball Jones, it looks like that poor moggy's been given a massive dose.

Clip is from the IMAX film 'Fighter Pilot'.
