The pilots who dropped a 500 lb bomb on some Canadian troops in Afghanistan were issued amphetamines.

How about troops on the ground?

1. Either that or sleep deprivation or a combination of the two.
I know I've come close to killing people after 3 days without sleep, and I'm not usually violent by nature.

2. No
Only pilots who elect to use them on certain missions.
