Re: There are some projects and weapons which have some charcteristics ranging from dubious to the edge of evil. Among the most sinister are the experiments on drug enhancement for performance in the field by individual soldiers and pilots. I can just image the impact a year or ten years after a conflict when these zombies come unglued in civilian society. Let alone the already problematic re-insertion of crazed killer Special Forces maniacs back into their own bedrooms (where wives die due to delusions). The military is training a special sort of man who is unfit to be a member of civilian society. This cannot be a good thing in the long run. While only about 5% or so of men coming home from WW II suffered maladjustments such as PTSD, the Gulf War I saw this figure rise dramatically to about 20% of the force. Figures are unavailable today on the present conflict, but one psychiatrist of my acquaintance who specializes in this field at Oregon Health Sciences University is very concerned that the rate of PSTD from the present conflict is going to largely eclipse the record from the first Gulf War.
