Part of the experimentation did include scaring kittens. Obviously, those Dirty Communists went too far in doing so. America learned its lesson when their soldiers failed to shoot dogs, and instead abused goats.

They tried with dogs, but they couldn't bring themselves to actually shoot them.

The Men Who Stare at Goats / int_2bdae2ae	type	Awesome, but Impractical
The Men Who Stare at Goats / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: A man lifting bags of sand on hooks hung through his scrotum is asked what practical purpose it could possibly have. The First Earth Battalion and the whole concept of psychic soldiers is showcased to be one, although not said outright. The third act involves the protagonists discovering Larry's work to make the division more practical in terms of an intelligence arm... which involves torturing insurgents for information. It's also mentioned in passing that they used to mutilate insurgent corpses, presumably for shock and awe. Ben Echmeyer's knife-fighting technique that he taught the First Earth Battalion includes a move in which the knife-fighter jumps at his target with arms outstretched in an eagle-like dive. Bob snarks in narration that it's an In-Universe invocation of Crazy is Cool, as in the target is so bewildered at how insane the other guy must be to try that that it allows the knife-fighter to get close to stab him.

They were never found afterwards and the U.S. Army's investigation theorized the most probable reasons why is that they crashed the helicopter in the middle of the Iraq desert and died on impact or were shot down — the most probable outcomes of two men who do not have helicopter training and were stoned to the very edge of being out of their minds stealing a helicopter and flying away in the middle of contested territory.

The bizarre conversation between Brown and Hopgood fretting that "We can't afford to have the Russians leading the field in the paranormal" is strongly reminiscent of Turgidson complaining of a "mine shaft gap" with the Russians in Dr. Strangelove (this "psychic powers gap" was in fact a real fear for the US Army at the time). "The silence of the goats." The film also references Being There, especially the ending, echoing the Sellers film's tagline "Life is just a state of mind." To Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead: when Lyn drives the car into a rock in the middle of the desert, he and Bob pass the time by flipping a coin that continually lands with the head side facing up, as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern do to begin the play. The Drill Sergeant Nasty moment was more or less a direct quote from Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket.

The Men Who Stare at Goats / int_cb70651c	comment	Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: In theory, the whole movie is ambiguous about whether the psychic powers are real, delusions, or deliberate misdirection. The question is generally Played for Laughs (or drama, regarding whether or not Larry giving Lyn a Dim Mak strike when he was leaving the Army truly is the reason the latter got cancer. In the final shot, Bob is shown performing the running through walls trick Hopgood attempted at the beginning of the movie successfully. However, a second after he's shown doing so, a picture frame falls off the wall, implying that he could have actually slammed into it but imagined himself going through. Like every other "paranormal" incident in the movie, it's up to the viewer to decide.

To be clear; this consisted of the revelation that US Forces were torturing prisoners being undercut by news anchors joking around about the Barney song being used as part of the process of torturing prisoners. In the book, Jon Ronson wonders if the ubiquity of the jokes might be a deliberate attempt to undercut the revelations. Which, to reiterate, were about torture.

The Men Who Stare at Goats / int_e4b69188	type	Very Loosely Based on a True Story
The Men Who Stare at Goats / int_e4b69188	comment	Very Loosely Based on a True Story: Several of the main characters are based on real people, and the basic background about the training is based on actual experiments. As the opening puts it, "More of this is true than you would believe." How much? Read the First Earth Battalion Wikipedia article. Notably, the Actor Allusion criticized by so many reviews was real - McGregor has explained in interviews that they really did call themselves Jedi warriors, and even noted during filming the oddity of it after playing young Obi-Wan. If nothing else what is true is that some very strange things can, do and have been funded and experimented with by armies and intelligence agencies when they manage to find the right patron, and there's even a vague suspicion that the Soviet Union may be experimenting with something similar. In the case of the CIA and military's experiments with LSD, this version of the story is quite a bit tamer and less horrific than what actually happened (for instance, a CIA employee was given LSD without his knowledge and experienced a hallucination which caused him to jump out a window to his death). The film is based on the factual book of the same name by investigative journalist Jon Ronson, a faux-naif in the same vein as Louis Theroux, who researched his material extensively in the USA and got a lot of off-the-record stuff from official sources. The Iraqi propaganda leaflet taunting American soldiers that their wives were home having sex with Burt Reynolds and Bart Simpson? Truth in Television.
