Hollywood sure is getting adept at making the military as a whole look like fools... *sigh*

Gangster - I posted that trailer a few weeks ago when we were discussing hollywood being a little left of center. I laughed my ass off when i first saw it and the first thing i thought of was when they were all talking about the Holistic training in the mid 80s at 10th. I sent it around to a bunch of old 10th grp friends and it was also the first thing they thought of - I shipped elsewhere before it started but i vividly remember the initial discussions/rumors.

Jim Channon started the program I believe from what I read in the book this movies based on. They even had a manual come out. First Earth Battalion Good for a laugh anyway

We spent a lot of time at the "Dojo"... read a lot of books, and never once stared at a goat... although there were a couple of the C/2 Scuba guys who might have qualified... I had more bruises from those stupid kendo swords than I care to think about.

I learned a few good techniques to relax and focus, but I'm not sure my efficiency as an SF soldier increased that much. SGM "Joe" was not enthused with the way it threw off the training schedules once the Jedi Program was implemented.

Obviously you didn't frequent the same bars I did while stationed in Ft Bragg/Fayetteville.

I know this is a old thread but I was wondering how John Alexander fit into this? I have never spoken with the man we do not travel the same circles. I am sure he is making a killing off his books with some ufo nuts. But I figured it was a clash with his status with in DOD and his um.. personal beliefs. Is this verified "Dr. Alexander organized and chaired six major conferences on non-lethal warfare and served as a US delegate to several NATO studies on the topic. As a member of the first Council on Foreign Relations non-lethal warfare study, he was instrumental in influencing the report that is credited with causing the Department of Defense to create a formal Non-Lethal Weapons Policy in July 1996. He was a distinguished guest lecturer at several DOD universities and has advised the CIA, US Special Operations Command, and the National Intelligence Council."
