They just applied it to the wrong category of people - civilians such as Jews etc. Instead they should have experimented on rapists, child abusers, corrupt politicians etc.
By experimentation I mean medical, biological and chemical warfare, and make up (so those poor animals do not get hurt)
I know that SMAC will be using biological warfare, how extensive is this / should this be? And protection aginst this? Personally I would like to see a large involvement of this type of warfare.

Um, why pick on the Germans and Japanese? Ever heard of the Tuskeegee Experiments? Ever heard about U.S. germ warfare during the Indian Wars? You ask me, go to the experts for good knowledge about Germ Warfare-- your friendly, neighborhood, U.S. government.

How about the Brits? I hear there's an island up in Scotland that's totally off-limits, ever since an anthrax experiment made during WWI...
As a matter of fact, you'll find nasty stuff practically everywhere, if you start turning over those rocks... There's always a few guys with power who think their "way of life", or the like must be defended by whatever means it takes...

Well, what about the Russians then? They've been doing all kind of experiments over the years.
I must agree with Tapiolan poika that there are a lot of nasty things everywhere around the world. But what can we do about it?

I nominate this thread for the most off-topic pretending to be on topic thread of'em all!!!

Roland.... you crack me up!
Unfortunately, we lost the battle for on-topic threads long, long ago. I think it all started when this new forum design was switched in favour of the old layout. I miss those days when we just talked SMAC.
Everyone has fallen into the endless loop of political bickering that really never has any victors or an end. I'm guilty of this myself.
