If there's anything that history has taught us, it's that the simian threat should be wiped out immediately! hasn't anyone WATCHED planet of the apes? The horror.... the horror....

Now quickly, to the rainforests and wild areas of the world! We have a job to finish....

Hopefully all the great apes (except Orangutans) will soon be extinct. That'll put an end to the chimp menace. We can keep Orangutans though. They're pretty neat.

its been an odd week here in southern California.... yesterday a man nearly eaten by chimpanzees, and earlier this week a hundred miles to the west a tiger was shot and killed near a house along the coast.

Hmmm! I wonder if they could make some exceptions to the Army ( Marines? ) recruiting standards and work these guys in somehow? They certainly seem to be agressive enough, and Lord knows we need all the recruits we can get!

We could make them into a kick-ass long range recon unit that would be able to infiltrate areas where most soldiers wouldn't be able to go without a helicopter. They would be able to travel through the trees and take full advantage of avilable cover and concealment. They would make small targets and can move very quickly when necessary.

It might be difficult to keep them on-mission though, and uniforms would be a definite problem. So would standing formation and rendering proper military courtesy ( senior officers tend to get a bit pissed when the enlisted ranks don't know how to salute! )

Whaddya think, guys? Workable? Help me out here! :D

I think it's doable, but it's gonna require alot of cattle prods. Senior officers might have to relax about the whole saluting thing aswell, and be prepared to lose fingers from time to time.

Yes, I saw all the Planet of the Apes series ( unfortunately!), and those apes kicked major ass! To keep our Simian Recon Brigade under control, we could attach a collar to each of them and send them a nice little jolt everytime they got out of line, or even just auto-decpitate if need be! :D

Hmmm. We could issue officers a signal trasmitter that would send our Simian Recon Brigade recruits a mild electric jolt through their control collars everytime they got too close?

Good idea, but I suspect it would be a bit pricey. Part of the attraction for using the Simian Recon Brigade would be that they would work for peanuts ... um ... bananas.

You've given me an idea.... elephant spies. They're so obvious that they're inconspicuous, they NEVER forget, and they really do work for peanuts! Think about the potential. Also, they're more tractable, and don't hold a true hatred for humanity, and their lack of hands means they can't rebel effectively.

Consider that...

Like it! It may be possible in a few years to interfere with the electical signals in the brains of Simian Recon Brigade recruits, enabling senior officers to press a button which causes the chimps to salute properly. The research may be prohibitively expensive though, I don't think scientists will work for peanuts, bananas or even both!!!

Hmmm! Well, although they make big targets, you might be on to something here. They can communicate sub-sonically, so commo wouldn't be a problem, and just imagine the enemy reaction when an entire heard ( Division? ) of seemingly placid elephants suddenly turned on them at once and began separating arms and legs from bodies! The terror! The terror! :D

True, but we would have to make sure they didn't hold any water in those trunks before they salute. Can't you just imagine a whole General officer's staff being drenched? OMG! The horror! :D

Actually, I was thinking more as spotters, merely because the idea of an elephant trying to look inconspicuous whilst looking through a comically large pair of binoculars (held by the trunk) amused me. But as ambush troops as well, I can see that they have definite potential.

It'd be like that scene in lord of the rings (Without orcs, elves, dwarves, hobbits, swords, long-bows, trebuchets, catapults, battering rams, trolls, and firey battering rams, but other than that, the similarity is striking!!!)

So.... we're anticipating the enemy to be attacking from HORSEBACK, and engaging in a medieval style cavalry engagement?
Well, in that case, it's even better. Horses are scared of elephants.

I think they'd be better off as an ambush unit than being used for spying...

1) As far as spying goes, it's only useful if we know what they've found, and only koko the gorilla would know how to tell us as far as i know.
2) The evidence (the original article at the top of the thread) suggests that they're less than subtle (severed his testicles and a foot?) and more inclined to surprise violence.
3) I don't really have a third point, but a two point list is rather lame so i added another.
