Believing there is a hero gene, these men, after the conception of artificial insemination, built a complex breeding system. With the unknowing help of the government, they devised a plan to grow their hero soldiers. Extracting sperm from combat veterans who served above and beyond and tricking any widow of a soldier to have their dead husband's child. When sperm banks began opening in the midfifties, the three men infiltrated their supply with their hero sperm and increased their herd. All went undetected for fifty years, until an IED explosion in Iraq blew the lid off a program that began in 1942. DNA, used to identify body parts, exposed the Sperm Soldier program. Two of its founders, still alive, went to face the music, while military leaders struggled to figure out how this could be possible.
