"Weather modification was used successfully in Viet Nam (http://www.boston.com/news/globe/ideas/articles/2005/07/03/dont_like_the_weather_change_it?mode=PF) to (among other things) hinder and impede the movement of personnel and material from North Viet Nam to South Viet Nam," notes a Naval Air Warfare Weapons Division - China Lake research proposal (http://cryptome.org/weather-war.pdf), released last month through the Freedom of Information Act. But "since that time military research on Weather Modification has dwindled in the United States."
The proposal suggests a study of the latest weather manipulation techniques, to "give the U.S. military a viable, state-of-the-art weather modification capability again."
