We found this tonight over at the Toronto Star which has been covering the trial of the American Air Force Pilots who accidentally killed Canadians in Afganistan last year while on a flight mission--a mission for which the Air Force doctors gave them dexadrine (speed, called "go pills") to fight fatigue.
It turns out that the Air Force also gives the pilots Ambien, sleeping pills, to come down from the dexadrine and then repeats the cycle the next day.
What will we learn next? That the pilots were routinely given morphine in case they got a headache? We can just hear them singing now, as they flew around Afganistan, "And I won't forget to put flowers on your grave."
Who needs a draft--when this gets out, there should be no shortages of enlistees.
