    It's a shame the military and UCSD are so stupid that they haven't already thought of these moronic objections to what appears to be very beneficial tech, both for military and civilian use. (Note: Not all the objections were moronic, I'll leave it to the individual to decide which is which.)

    @GadgetPlay: Hey hey, I defend my moronic objections. The military NEEDS someone to think of the stuff SO stupid that the pros wont ever consider it. Its me or the conspiracy theorists, take your pick.

    I am not a gamer, but I gather from the other comments that this has been done already in some combat game. And how did it turn out in the virtual world? I still get a bad vibe about it real time.

    Would I sound cynical if I said fear this may be used to introduce other drugs to soldiers as well? Maybe not drugs aimed at the soldiers health and well being but something to make him/her do things that they might judge as morally wrong. I hope not....but if I was cynical, I might think that.

    @Curves: Well, you're going to need drugs to go out there and fight against those Geckos and Metal Gears. Any non-medicated person would see those things and just turn the other way.

    @MadCrazy: Wouldn't giving it to the lowest builder NOT be greedy? Giving to someone who is kicking back to the person who decides would be greedy. And realistically, the lowest bidder is not usually picked b/c if the bidder stands to lose money on a project, you have to worry about them going bankrupt 3/4 of the way through the build, which leaves you SOL.
