'Men Against Fire' Similar Story/Movie SPOILERS

Hey,

SPOILERS ahead...

Just finished S03E05 and found the story quite familiar. Can anyone else think of any other movies/shows that have the soldiers "tricked" into fighting the enemy due to some sort of augmented reality or illusion?

Thanks for any help.

Starship Troopers 😋

I also wondered that, there is a old FPS shooting game called Haze where the soldiers are fitted with a combat drug injector that enhances combat ability but also changes their perceptions. that's the closet I can recall

Much like you I'm sure there was an prior movie or maybe book that dealt with this concept, so if anyone can put a name to it that would be nice (it's not Enders Game, as the deceit in that was not so much against the enemy but to prevent them from worrying about human losses)

There was an outer limits episode "hearts and minds".

I'm trying to remember what I saw, where a group of soldiers had helmets that showed which people had implants, like alien implants, and somehow one soldier figured out that the helmets really showed implants in anyone not wearing a helmet.

Anyone know what movie I'm thinking of? The one aware soldier gathers his team in a warehouse and convinces them to take the helmets off/on (to see that they all look to have implants to each other), and then the soldiers decide to not kill the 'aliens' and instead blow up a wrecked bus to make it look like they blew up the aliens?

The fifth wave

Boot camp?

As in the place, not the show.

Re: 'Men Against Fire' Similar Story/Movie SPOILERS

The 5th wave which is a terrible movie

Or it's a Leftoid conspiracy episode to make us reflect on the current Islam issue. Premise: Muslims are just like us!

I just want to know why that one roach had a sonic screwdriver, I was so confused by that :P

Re: 'Men Against Fire' Similar Story/Movie SPOILERS

To disarm the soldiers implants, so that they can see them as humans and not roaches.
