Why would the USAF be collecting specimens of Russian body fluids?

Thanks to Cynical for the link!

A day after Russian President Vladimir Putin surprised members of Russia’s human rights council by informing them that some shadowy entity - possibly with ties to the United States - had been collecting biological tissues from Russians from different ethnic groups, the group responsible for harvesting the tissue has revealed itself.

While some initially discounted Putin's remars as another loony conspiracy theory, as it turns out, he was right: The group responsible for the tissue collection was none other than the US Air Force, proving that yet another conspiracy theory has become a conspiracy fact.

A representative for the US Air Force Education and Training Command explained to Russia Today that the choice of the Russian population was not intentional, and is related to research the Air Force is conducting on the human musculoskeletal system.

Eyebrows were first raised in July when the AETC issued a tender seeking to acquire samples of ribonucleic acid and synovial fluid from Russians, adding that all samples (12 RNA and 27 synovial fluid) “shall be collected from Russia and must be Caucasian.” The Air Force said it wouldn’t collect samples from Ukrainians, but didn’t specify why.

Story here. 

AETC is taking the blame on this?  I don't believe that for a second!  The real question, the million dollar question is WHY!  Why would an element (cause we don't know who the real perpetrators are) of the US govt do this?

You want a real indication of warlike intent?  Let the N. Koreans get caught doing the same to us and you'd have to read about 10 days worth of blog posts about how we should launch relentless airstrikes till we can build a McDonalds on the DMZ without resistance.

This thing reeks!
