Musing on the use of bugs in warfare; relating the use typhus-infected lice in WW I, potato bugs in Czechoslovakia during the Cold War and the suggestion that there is experimentation with radiation-laced bed bugs to track the enemy in Vietnam; speculating, humorously, on the notion of bugs fighting bugs and how a "whole new kind of professional military man might arise--ant trainers, spider handlers, scorpion experts;" positing that even if bugs were to fight bugs, "it would be inevitable that some groups would be against it. In a free society you can't tear the placards out of the hands of a natural born protester."
