Army experiments with mind communication

Hmmm, interesting, I guess. But supposedly this would be most useful for those troops directly in combat. I have a sneaky suspicion that all you're going to get from some second lieutenant whose platoon just got caught in an ambush is something along the lines of "OHSHITHOLYFUCKINGCHRISTIGOTTAGETOUTTAHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Such communication administered to the lower ranks would pick up equally interesting thoughts - mostly about fragging the lieutenant who led them into the ambush or the major that ordered the operation in the first place. This could be quite amusing. First, soldiers will kill the people monitoring communications, THEN they'll go out on patrol, secure that their thoughts won't be monitored. (Mutinies have always interested me....). As an alternative, I predict that all these commuication devices will mysteriously break once they are out of sight of the officers....
