I was turned on to this film by an English Prof in 1993.
A couple of years back I picked the DvD, with some deleted scenes from above.
I wonder how many better versions of such films existed once upon a time.
Like "Full Metal Jacket" in multitude of reported versions.
For reason unnamed, this one, Jacob's Ladder, came a little close to home.
One of the better films I have, I just don't watch it very often.
Until someone wants to watch it usually.
Things as depicted didn't happen exactly. Things depicted did happen but not quite as shown.
BZ and other Gottlieb inspired compounds were tested in other ways both more-or-less "controlled and clinical" means as well as open frame "civilian tests".
It is obvious by now isn't it?
Minds can be remade to inhuman configurations by external means chemical and otherwise.
Sirhan, Bremer, Chapman and Hinckley as examples known.
Some evil comes of human spirits without the mind-melding though.
Some folks enjoy terrifying others without Gottlieb and crew's interference.

Read not to contradict and confute;
nor to believe and take for granted;
nor to find talk and discourse;
but to weigh and consider.
