Brace for impact! The Imaginauts return with a bit of a situation on their hands, as the ship is under attack my a disgruntled former crew member and they must divulge all the strange and wonderful things they've discovered on the topic of Military.

With quick thinking, some good humour and cheap sound effects maybe the Imaginauts can live to laugh another day...

James - What's the stupidest military idea ever conceived?
Phil - What's the nicest thing about war?
