Maj Derrick Cheng, from the 25th Infantry Division, said that the training, on anaesthetised pigs, was being conducted under licence and the careful supervision of veterinarians.
"It's to teach army personnel how to manage critically injured patients within the first few hours," he said. | Source: http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,24043552-2,00.html
Thoughts?

I don't think I care enough to form a real opinion though, as long as they eat the things afterwards that is. I wouldn't want to see a nice bit of pork go to waste, even if it is full of holes.
Also I don't much like PETA.
