Better War Through chemicals
Our tax dollars at work. I've heard of LSD tests on soldiers to see if they could ignore weird stuff happening all around them, ignore pain, ignore the fact that they were in a war, and keep fighting all the time.

If it's good enough for ravers, it's good enough for G.I.s. That's the thinking, apparently, behind the Army's decision to test the animal tranquilizer Ketamine as away to soothe injured soldiers.
The drug – known in the clubs has "Special K" – has been reducing party-goers to gurgling blobs for more than a decade. This year, the Army has been running final, phase III Food and Drug Administration trials on a quarter-dose nasal inhaler of "K," to see if it can substitute for morphine.
. . .
THERE'S MORE, DUDE: Back in '64, the Army decided it'd be a good idea to give 60 of its soldiers inhalable LSD.


Here is a copy of the PDF document from DefenseTech telling about the experiments on soldiers in the sixties. It is hard to read. Would someone please read it and summarize in the comments. Thanks.
Hey Crispen, you should dig that crazy declassified LSD stuff.

Um, yeah, we'll get right on summarizing that for you. It does appear that most of the first half of the pages are just short paragraphs about the security status of the report.
