One thought nobody’s had yet: If pleasure drugs become common in warfare, how would you prevent your own troops from exposing themselves to the chemicals? How about soldiers selling the chemicals? We have a hard enough time managing the drugs we have now, without the military sprinking new ones into the mix every so often. Laws and enforcement are only so effective, after all, even in the military. And if there’s any reason, no matter how small, to consume a substance someone will do it, legal or not. ---

The condoms are supposed to be worn by the invading army, I suppose. Every post made after that is sensible and well worth reading.
