I am sure they are working on the technology but I doubt they are putting them into Soldiers yet. This does raise a lot of questions. How do they test these? What happens if the experiments go wrong? Who would decide who gets them? Would they be mandatory for all military members? I can see a lot of ethical and religious objections to these so I think they are a ways off for now.

Yea, the religious one would be something about the Mark of the Beast. It's shocking how often that comes up.

I know that there have been brain mapping studies but I don't think controlling the impulses to control the actions of an individual is something we can accomplish or even know how to go about yet. So I don't think it's happening, but probably will at some point in the future.

We are close to all of these things, the problem is control over the technology and invasion of privacy.

I think we need a true story from Maxwell staff. It's not a problem to control, problem is in desire of a soldier to put such thing inside their spine.

It is the logical next step in medical advancement. You create implants to track the performance of the human body, then use implants to control and enhance the human body. Perfect things for military applications.
