The military has a pretty good idea just how long they can keep people awake, and what the best combinations of stimulants are to keep them in warfighting condition. The Wehrmacht in WW2 used an awful lot of amphetamines, and dexedrine has been in common usage for a long time as well.

- otakucode 8y agoThe US Air Force still uses 'go pills' (methamphetamines) during operations to keep people awake. I would expect them to prefer something like provigil, but that just might be a matter of time. It causes problems, though, when an airman hopped up on meth kills a bunch of ally troops as happened several years back with some Canadian forces.
