Soldiers Should Juice Up | T Nation

I think it could be worth looking into. Not necessarily something along the lines of HGH though as I don't see brute strength as the thing that's needed most in combat. Plus, giving guys HGH won't force them to work out, which is still needed. What's needed is endurance. And for that I'd turn to EPO, the stuff Lance Armstrong and other endurance athletes have taken. I read an article written by a guy that took it in order to be able to actually see what it did and report it. He said it was amazing. He could ride his bike 200 miles and then wake up the next day and do it again. Give this stuff to guys in combat situations and they could go further and fight longer before giving out.

Right...then we'll, well you, because I'll be retired, will have to sit through PowerPoint presentations on road rage and shriveled testicles.

Creating super soldiers are we? Bad idea. In times of war you don't need to be battling hormonal imbalanced troops while you're trying to battle the enemy. Besides, on the battle field strengh is more of a hindrance than it is a benefit. Especially since fighting is done at a distance. On the other hand, substance that increase endurance have been used by fighting forces worldwide for a very long time. They can, however, take a toll on the user, so they have to be used sparingly and only in emergencies.
