well, that's just for spying. I still think ww2 was worse, when they would feed dogs under tanks, so that when deployed in the battlefield, the dogs with explosives strapped would get under enemy tanks and boom

    As far as I can remember it was the Soviets that tried this, but because they practiced this with their own tanks, in battle they would run to the Soviet tanks instead (and blow up there). But I can't vouch for how true the story is.
