Project Jedi

Template:POV checkTemplate:Cleanup-verify According to Glenn Wheaton, retired sergeant first class, this was a secret project run in the mid-1980s by US Special Forces, primarily out of Fort Bragg. The aim was to develop soldiers to a higher level of operational perception and combat effectiveness, through an extreme training program. Extensive use was made of Kung-Fu instruction from internationally recognised Kung-Fu Master Guy Savelli, to improve mental focus, and improve one-on-one combat. Levels of perception targeted for development, included the following

• The ability to walk into a room, and be instantly aware of every surrounding detail.
• Enhanced intuition, sensing the possible intentions or positions of an enemy.
• Invisibility, or the ability to move around in a stealthy manner without being noticed.
• Influencing other biological forms with the intent of your mind.

Various experiments were purportedly conducted at Goat Lab, a surgical training center for Special Forces troops. Goats are shot in the leg with a bolt gun in a sound proofed room. They are then taken to an operating theatre, anaesthetized, and special forces troops given the chance to dress the wound and nurse the goat back to health. Some people object to this treatment of goats.

Little else is known about Project Jedi at this time, pending further declassification of Special Forces documentation.
