IIRC the WW2 Germans tried exploding dogs
(dogs with AT charges strapped to them).
>From what I understand, they made one
unfortunate mistake: In training them to run
over and lie under tanks, they used German
Panzers of some variety instead of T-34s.
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!
