I stumbled upon an article from Britain which states that the Ministry of Defense there is experimenting with drugs to enhance soldier's performance in combat. Many of the drugs are banned substances used by professional atheletes to build muscle and cardio endurance. They also want to use sedatives to help relax the soldiers or aid them in getting proper sleep and stimulants to keep them awake when needed. The era of the "super soldier" may be coming soon to a combat area near you. Maybe we will even be able to go the route of "Universal Soldier" or "Robocop" where we can recycle dead soldiers into cyborg killing machines?!
Personally I think it is a bad idea as it can lead to addictions and a myriad of health problems, not to mention safety concerns. Do you really want to be fighting beside a steroid enhanced soldier gorked out on sedatives or hopped up on speed? Read the article in the link below and tell me what your opinion is.
