Summary: "In this comedic look at real life events that are almost too bizarre to believe, reporter Bob Wilton teams up with Lyn Cassidy and discovers an experimental top-secret wing of the U.S. military [The New Earth Army]. Here soldiers are trained to change the ways wars are fought through New Age psychic powers by passing through walls, reading the enemy's thoughts and even killing a goat by simply staring at it. Inspired by Jon Ronson's non-fiction best-seller of the same name, this is an eye-opening and hilarious story of the government's attempts to harness soldiers' paranormal abilities in order to combat its enemies."-- Container.
