I didn't see this one coming. I am unsure why Special Ops medics wouldn't train on cadavers; the necessity for live goats escapes me at the moment.

In follow-up to yesterday's "goat post," we'll now fill in the details. Just as a reminder: I asked yesterday [W]hy [does] Special Operations Command at Ft. Bragg [want] to buy goats[?]

As much as I would desperately like to believe that the main purpose of the Goat Lab at Ft. Bragg is to allow Special Ops to practice their top-secret goat-killing ESP powers, I'm afraid the truth, like all truth, is far more mundane (well, maybe not for PETA). The goats, as many commenters correctly surmised, are for practicing medic skills.
