The same military that gives amphetamines to its crews to prolong
alertness, and forces their troops to get unproven vaccines against
obscure illnesses? I never took them for that conservative with regards

The FAA does not have authority over what medications a military
flight sugeon might authorize for a pilot while flying military
aircraft.
