This is really an interesting film, because of what it reveals about the mindset of the people who commissioned it. It's a 1963 film of an experiment the British conducted on its own troops, feeding them LSD and then sending them into combat exercises and filming the results.
The troops wind up laughing and becoming incapable of even mock-killing other human beings, almost as if they realized that such behavior was insane. The makers of the film are concerned about this, because they consider war and the killing of other people not only sane, but admirable. Clearly, the people they should have fed the acid to was not the troops who fight the wars, but the politicians who start them.
