Why didn't they use a bonobo chimp? They're less aggressive.
Military project. They wanted aggressive. Did you know less than five percent of a soldier's time is actually spent fighting?
When not fighting, an army still needs to be paid and fed and supplied. Imagine the cost savings of having troops you could train to peak condition and then put in suspended animation barrels until needed!
Wouldn't the soldiers still need frequent retraining as weapons and tactics evolve?
You're thinking logically. Try thinking like a corporation that's having defense contract money waved in its face.
