Ep 21 - They Did WHAT

from Cite Your Sources Hosted by Cite Your Sources

In this week's episode, Shelby and Charlie explore some military experiments that got "left on the drawing board" due to various reasons. While some of the ideas were brought to fruition, they would ultimately be shut down before being combat ready, or after being surpassed by newer, better technological advancements. Strap yourselves in for this one, because the US military, and others of the world, have done some truly wacky shit in years long past. Opening music licensed from Peder B.
