I don't see any particular distinction between "mainstream science" and "military science", other than opportunity.
As I posted above, the scientfic leaders of "MK-ULTRA" and related programmes were all world leaders in their scientific fields:
Cameron was the first chairman of the World Psychiatric Association
West was head of department and director of the Neuropsychiatry Institute at UCLA.
Heath founded the Department of Psychiatry and Neurology at Tulane.
Rhodes Scholar Estabrooks was chairman of the Department of Psychology at Colgate University.
Orne was emeritus professor of psychiatry and psychology at the University of Pennsylvania.
Harlow president of the American Psychological Association from 1958-1959.
Strughold was the "father of space medicine", and a tenured professor.
These scientists believed they could mould human behaviour ("behaviour modification") and determine the extremes of human endurance (altitude and temperate experimentation).
To test their hypotheses, they needed human guinea pigs. The military-industrial-intelligence complex provided the human test subjects, the funding, and the secrecy needed to perform science without ethical constraint.
When these human test subjects died, the military-industrial-intelligence-complex also provided the undertakers and suppressed the "negative data".
The same situation applies with the development of new drugs by Big Pharma. Testing on animals often proves very litte.
Big Pharma needs human guinea pigs, and if the human clinical trials may result in death or maiming, such experimentation is often conducted in the world's poorest countries: human laboratories such as Haiti, Indonesia, Panama and Bangladesh.
