Pentagon's New Military Drug Weapons

My only comment on this article is that these drugs sound much more humane than 500 lb bombs.

A calmative agent can be defined as an antipersonnel chemical that leaves the victim awake and mobile but without the will or ability to meet military objectives or carry out criminal activity.

They’ve got Skunk, they’ve got Special K, they’ve got Angel Dust, they’ve got Aceeeeed….and they’ve also got a whole pharmacy of extra special stuff that they’re not going to tell anyone about. They’re heavily armed, and the law can’t touch them. Because they’re the Pentagon’s own nonlethal chemical weapons developers.

No, that's not my only comment. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Angel Dust was a problem for law enforcement. It made the people impervious to pain and often aggressive. That's a couple affects I doubt are desired in an enemy.

Ah ha, I was right. One of the headlines in the graphic states, "SUSPECTS SNAP HANDCUFFS". I don't know if you've worn or even seen handcuffs close up, but snapping handcuffs is no small feat. I'm assuming (always dicey) these weren't the plastic wire ties type handcuffs. It says handcuffs.
