ok so i was pointed this morning to a few sites (in last half hour they have been closed down but will be moved again) that the american forces have been using drugs on some troopers.
they have found in one report that soem drugs make the soldiers very agressive and imune to pain, to the extent they cant evan bee taken down by a tazer, they just ignor it and pull out the darts.
also speed is prescribed to american soldiers, evan though its ilegal on american soil.
i tried to look into this a bit more and supply soem links, but the good sites are all down at the mo
but this one still works

Two American pilots accused in a fatal "friendly fire" incident in Afghanistan took amphetamines before it occurred, an enquiry has found.
The pilots were taking the drugs prescribed by the United States military when they killed four Canadians last April, according to US Air Force investigators.
They are awaiting a court martial hearing due to start next month.
The Canadians who died were serving in Kandahar
US Air Force majors Harry Schmidt and William Umbach face up to 64 years in prison following the incident over Kandahar.
The pilots thought they were being fired at and dropped a laser-guided missile on their presumed attackers.
It was only when they had killed four people and injured eight that they were told the group were Canadian soldiers taking part in a night live-fire exercise and that they had informed the US military.
But it has now emerged that about an hour before the incident the two men had taken amphetamines, or speed as it is commonly known, that had been given to them by the US Air Force.
'Go'-pills
The pills, which are illegal in the US, are given to combat pilots who are involved in long eight or nine-hour sorties in small controlled doses, say the military.
The Air Force stopped prescribing the 'Go' pills, as they are known by the pilots, in 1993 after reports that crews using them during the Gulf War became addicted.
But the drug has been quietly reintroduced in recent years.
The Air Force says they are a medical tool that is essential for combat pilots being sent to war over Afghanistan and, possibly, Iraq.
im sure we can find more examples, i was wondering if these sorta things will become part of BF-evo ? maybe we should use a "RIFTS" term and call them juicers ?
