IIRC the WW2 Germans tried exploding dogs (dogs with AT charges strapped to
them).

Extrapolate this into the battelfield (chaos, confusion, scared animals) and
the results were about what you'd expect.

Though rat-mobile-claymore swarms seems like
a disturbing idea.

Mind you, for disturbing, some of the nanotech weapons blow away anything
horrid you could wire an animal to do.

I'm glad I'm not a gropo anymore. It just ain't safe (never was, but its
getting worse) anymore!

It was the Soviets as I remember it. But thats what got me thinking about
using R/C rats offensively when I saw them.
