Troops with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder used as Guinea Pigs

Testing drugs on military personnel or prisoners without their knowledge or consent is nothing new by the United States, or really most governments. There's just something too alluring about having thousands of healthy individuals in peak physical condition between the ages of 18 and 30 that makes certain individuals in either power or influence weak in the knees at the prospect of shooting them full of untested drugs.

They were told it was an anti smoking drug - but the military sought out PDSD survivors because it acts as an inhibitor and they wanted to test it as an anti depressant. The troops who volunteered were not informed of this.

Veterans with Post traumatic Stress Disorder are being used as guinea pigs for untested neural inhibitors, which, like all anti depressants carry the increased risk of suicide and psychosis (the reason that more people don't kill themselves when depressed is because they lack motivation, which is what a neural inhibitor brings back first).

This is supporting our troops?
