John Major...squaddies mate?

See, it's still one rule for them and another for the rest of us...

In order to try to get extra work out of our squaddies we send to fight and die on our behalf, defense contractor Quinetiq has been testing "zombies" for use in combat situations...

UK army tested 'stay awake' pills:

A controversial drug which can keep people awake for days has been tested by the UK military, MPs have been told.

Modafinil pills - known on the drugs scene as "zombies" - are used to treat the rare sleeping disorder narcolepsy.

The Ministry of Defence has previously denied testing the drug on troops although it reportedly bought thousands of pills ahead of the Iraq war.

Defence contractor Qinetiq told the commons' science committee the drug had recently been tested for military use.

So we have American pilots downing speed so they can fly further and kill Canadians and now this. Who took the major shareholding in Quinetiq when our government flogged off the Defense Establishment Research Agency? Carlyle Group. European Chairman at the time...Rt Hon John Major.

After Eggwina you'd have thought Mogadon was more likely his drug of choice though, wouldn't you.
