Military experiments on civilians?

Priypjat:

A thoughtful counter, for sure... but the premise behind your sole motivation is flawed... in my humble opinion icewhale does not attempt to overtly portray himself as 'good' even if he candidly says his vow is to take the MOD to task for what he feels is evidence of flagrant disregard for public safety... extending to the malign allegedly?
It's obviously neither.
"Flagrant disregard" is WRONG from the Icewhale's own evidence. It shows them "paying regard" which is the exact opposite of "flagrant disregard".
"Malign" is something else entirely.
It vaguely implies that the research was merely a pretext for poisoning people. That is Icewhale's malignity right there. He has no evidence of anything of the sort. It is ONLY self aggrandisement (or some as-yet-unrevealed passion) that motivates him.

I can only think thereby you have said that you have no pertinent motivation to engage them... i do hope this is not true.
I can only tell you that I detested and despised the MOD while I worked for them. Later in my career I met crooks, but Ministry people were of an era characterized by H. G. Wells. They really hated me. It wasn't hard to tell.
But they're all DEAD, Nik. The Cold War exists like the Berlin Wall.

maybe I missed a post or two in seeing why you would suggest such *shrugs".
The period of the fifties will be forever remembered as the Dirty War, when protagonists on both sides of the Iron Curtain released a flurry of biological materials and toxins upon one another.
The War was brought to a halt by desperate intercessions from the Latin countries, India, and China, but not before mortality had exceeded 50%. Volunteers from Africa and Australia joined these countries to help with the administration of food aid and help restart essential industries.

That of course didn't happen. These people (no matter what you think of them) were responsible for the difference between THAT scenario and the present one. Don't forget it, you lucky little useless eaters.
