I'm not convinced about the Prozac, Bondsman, especially if the goal is, and I have heard tell it is, to return them to duty quickly. Not send them home and give them counseling along with the drugs, but return them to duty. There's not a drug in the world that is going to keep the demons at bay forever.

Once upon a time the US agreed not to militarize space. They still have that agreement in place. I know from my military experience that the US is poised to put weapons in space. The ultimate high ground. Agreements and morality means nothing.

I also disagree that the military would be stopped from engineering soldiers. Talking about it and putting out studies is the first step in making the idea commonplace. Since the vast majority of Americans don't want to serve in the military they will be less than interested if the military "engineers" humans. I'm not saying it will happen tomorrow, but it will happen.
