USAF = US Amphetamine Fools

Amphetamines, sedatives, anti-nerve agents, adrenaline and a whole
variety of vaccines, including anthrax, make up a cocktail of
chemicals banned by civilian authorities in the ordinary
workplace, yet forced upon pilots flying multi-million dollar jets
into combat

First, "Amphetamines", sedatives and adrenaline aren't forced on anyone. I've
never taken, nor will I, the "go pill" or the "no-go pill". They're optional
and quite controlled. Second, I've never taken, nor been told to, "anti-nerve"
agents. The only time you take these is when you've been exposed to a nerve
agent. Finally, the only vaccine the US Department of Defense has asked me to
take, that your average US citizen hasn't is anthrax and, recently, small pox.
Every other vaccine I've been "forced" to take, both my children are forced to
take to attend public school.

Two zero? Did the kaiser steal your word twenty?

There are also Nerve Agent Pre-treatment System (NAPS) tablets which are
taken in anticipation of exposure to cholinesterase inhibitors (nerve
gases, organophosphorous insecticides and so on) - these increase your
resistance to the compounds and buy you more time to mask up, seal up
and grab a Combopen.

I don't believe they're issued to aircrew, though, which would be why
you haven't come across them.
