US military develops drugs that save people from fear

Robots-androids and cyborgs, who do not experience feelings and emotions, appear in the army only as planned by the directors of science fiction films. However, the Pentagon is already developing a medical drug technology that affects the brain and allows you to turn a soldier into a "death machine" that is not limited to a sense of fear, conscience and unquestioningly fulfills all orders of the command. According to Wired, about $11 million is allocated each year from the Pentagon budget, which is used by three research institutions that research and develop drugs based on D-Cycloserine (D-Cycloserine, DCS).

At the same time, these studies are officially aimed at finding effective methods for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorders (Posttraumatic stress disorder, PTSD), various manifestations of which are observed in the military who have gone through difficult situations during combat operations. According to the plans of scientists, a person exposed to this disorder, after taking the drug, will get rid of the feeling of fear, and he will be shown pictures of events similar to those that led to the appearance of the disorder. And, as a result, those memories that cause it will be replaced by others, associations with which cause less expression of emotion and fear. This method, oddly enough, manifests itself on the positive side quite often.

It is already known that the US military provides soldiers who are in “hot spots” with various anti-depressants and painkillers. Only with their help a person can withstand constant stressful situations and huge mental and physical stress. Many soldiers without medical assistance in the near future could not take part in the hostilities.

Now, in their place comes a fundamentally new class of drugs that are conditionally related to drugs. But unlike marijuana or ecstasy, these drugs do not introduce people into a state of euphoria, under their influence people become more fearless, thoughtless and, as a result, more manageable. Of course, before using drugs of this type, it is necessary to solve many questions from the moral sphere, however story shows that the military very rarely stopped such “trivia and interference”. Therefore, it is possible that in the service in the army in the near future there will be people similar to the main character of the film “Soldier”, which Kurt Russell played wonderfully.

it’s easier to be, to conduct political studies regularly, etc .... or are the amers so fat that they don’t want to shed their own sows without wheels and don’t want to shed blood? who is there tryndel about the tree of freedom?

[KGB161rus]

In fact, even in Vietnam, the United States set up such experiments, to make a "stupid animal", a "killing machine" out of a person, and so on, these experiments failed, because people had side effects, they simply then settled scores with their lives or stayed in medical institutions --- just a "fool".

[marauder]

In World War II, Hitler used Pervitin, though it caused addiction and destroyed the body.
In the USSR they dispensed with ordinary vodka.

[marauder]

warriors nah ...

[swat2238]

Even without this, Russia is full of heroes who shed their blood for their homeland. And the amers went nuts, they were allowed to make "love" with animals and blacks, and they don't want to go into battle without a tablet. They have a depraved army, comrades!

[saratt]

and therefore, despite the fact that the Soviet soldier was zombified with political propaganda, but that didn’t stop him from escaping in the distant 41. Only the methods used in the Roman army helped to stop the army’s escape. Everyone respects a sense of fear. Since this is the instinct of self-preservation and be thrice hero and if he can overcome the feeling of fear, duty and self-sacrifice, it will still remain something that will pull back that is fear. And this is a lost time and it can be lost and fatal. Probably therefore the heroes did not live long.
Yes, and I noticed the Americans here, many who only saw the computer make cowards. But many do not even realize that the salary in the US Army is not as big as that of a civilian, and even less in the Marine Corps and they go there to serve as convictions. This is prestigious. so it’s not a matter of money.

The Russian army long ago invented an inexpensive and effective antidepressant - a glass of vodka, later called "People's Commissar's 100 grams."

[ESCANDER]

Here I am about the same, it is differently better than some kind of wheels. And most importantly - tested and not expensive.

[Trudy]

I remember watching a film about the development of cyber soldiers, which was carried out back in the Soviet Union. When Gorbachev came to power, all these developments were declassified and handed over to the Americans. Remember the name of this film, like from the series "Beyond the Fiction."

[Sergei 777]

Here, by the way, the main thing is not to overdo it, otherwise you should remove a soldier walking at full height for machine-gun calculation like two fingers ...
In general, fear is a good thing, BUT within reason !!!

[saratt]

this is the lack of vodka. the brain is almost completely turned off, but you need to turn off only fear while maintaining clarity of mind. the vodka for this is good so that you can go full machine gun heap

[Guns]

Well, if you are drawn to machine guns from a hundred grams in full growth ... then as they say - "you can't drink, don't torment your ass"

[saratt]

and you decided to feed you regularly?)))))))) do not eat for 2 days and 100 grams of alcohol will not raise you in the attack))))))))). and most importantly alcohol can not help because it slows down reaction rate. the brain should work

[Svyatoslav]

It seems to be given vodka after the battle to relieve nervous tension, isn't it?

[Lech e-mine]

[saratt]

I looked, I would like some good things ..... in battle. in words, all such a miracle -yudo fish .. x ...... th
therefore, they cannot collect half the draft as an appeal. They only collect those who can’t get out of it. For the rest, parents go into debt to smear it. They nominated us for the Americans. But there’s no problem with recruiting the United States There are always those who wish, despite the fact that America has been fighting for the past 14 years

[KGB161rus]

I’ll put you +, from the part it’s all true, but in the USA the army is contracted, and they pay a decent deny, and they also lure people without citizenship there (naturally promising him), career growth and other good things, but not always a war veteran gets them ( in connection with budget cuts, I already wrote somewhere, I will not be repeated). And where you got caught there really crap is written.

[saratt]

actually in the states it’s more profitable to work as a civilian than to serve in the army. This is the way. The only plus army allows you to get higher education.
and have I really written a lie about 41 years? This is a historical fact after all. And fear is experienced by every normal person and this is the norm.

[snek]

"The US military is developing drugs that relieve people of fear" - such drugs have been trying to develop from the very beginning of pharmacology as a separate discipline. However, even before that, alcohol, drugs (coca leaves from the Indians) and other nasty things were widely used.

[Guns]

in general, the veterans said that the People's Commissars did not drink before the battle, but "bequeathed" those who will remain alive

[zavesa01]

It is the feeling of fear that allows you to survive. Fear does NOT need to be destroyed, it needs to be controlled, uncontrollable fear grows into a panic. Destroying fear in humans, we get just zombies. They were called berserkers by the Vikings, which is noteworthy that the squads did not take them on raids, and the inhabitants expelled from the villages. Although the absence of fear with a sword should have been much more important than the absence of fear at the console.

[saratt]

I agree with you all 100 and this is apparently what the article is talking about. since fear has long been learned to hammer. here we are talking about a clear head and complete control.

[dred]

I agree. If the feeling of fear props the instinct of self-preservation also propoet.

[Guns]

good saying - eyes are afraid, hands are doing

The story that happened during the dubbing of the first episode of the fantastic action movie Star Wars.
'Remember, at the beginning of the film, two noble Jedi Knights chop enemies with laser swords, then the main one says something like:' We have nothing to do here - let's go! ', And both dump? - said the director of the Russian voice acting 'Star Wars' Maria Solovtsova. - So in the original the phrase sounded: 'Forces are equal - we run!'
As I heard, I almost fell. I ask the Americans again - it turns out that everything is so. Like, if the forces are equal, then there’s nothing to get into trouble, but it’s better to flee, then call the aircraft, and so on, see the news from Iraq.
I had to explain that in Russia the ideas about heroism are different, and, having seen such characters, our viewer will simply run away from the audience.

[saratt]

it’s quite pragmatic and competent. Why should people lie in vain? Strength equal means 50 to 50 chances. In war, the risk should be justified. If you are stuffed like meat, I think your country will not benefit much from this and there is a chance to weaken your country and substitute your brothers in arms. that’s why someone is still fighting and still fighting

[Guns]

if I do not fulfill my task. then I will let the "subcontractors" down, they also cannot, and then what?

[saratt]

I’m talking about something else. You won’t save yourself, you won’t be able to help allies, and even more so weaken them if you are stuffed. so it’s right that the soldier should take care of himself. and if you take it specifically from Star Wars, then many saw this film and everyone understands that they didn’t have the task of defeating everyone in a direct battle. they had a more difficult task, and for this they had to save themselves in the first place

[755962]

they don’t have enough depleted uranium in armor and in the cores of ducks they do not want to stuff them with chemistry at all. I am not surprised that soldiers after raids in hot spots are barely alive.

[Kyrgyz]

Let the Latinos ask, there is this medicine like dirt

[shmack]

What other drugs? 100 grams and go!

[Ascetic]

In Pindos, in my opinion, fear grew into a stable phobia for Russia and the Russians.
They swallow whiskey and shouting: "The Russians are coming!" pushed out of the windows of the Pentagon,
Here, even the wheels will not help so deeply in the subconscious, the HORROR sits in front of the inevitable retribution for the sins of the grave rulers

[PSih2097]

Imagine the situation, the Ohio crew got drunk LSD и Ecstasy from fear drinking it all with viskar ... And which of us is unpredictable ???

[PSih2097]

Seeing at the tail our multi-submarine at the tail ...

[saratt]

judging by the comments here, the horror is not among pendos.

[PSih2097]

Well, I don’t know, our suppresses vodka, not drugs ... And no one is afraid ... now ...

[tronin.maxim]

If min. US defense will continue in the same direction that they will lose their soldiers very soon. No, I do not protect the Pindos, I just feel sorry for ordinary soldiers who suffer because of the fantasies of the US leadership to conquer the whole world.

[Werewolf]

What a panic, we also have everything we need Sidnokarb helped in the battle to overcome the spirits in Afghanistan. And vodka suppresses fuel oil in a trench of current without offense, vodka is also good

[Honory]

Fools of America did not think about the consequences of using such pills for their warriors. There and so half of the country of classmates from everything that turns out is extinguished.
