That the MOD tested mind altering drugs on soldiers and the video is rather funny.

Sorry can't really see the funny, when they tested drugs in the 50s on soldiers many went on to die of cancers in their late 50s early 60s lives cut short. MOD didn't care.

Re: MOD tested mind altering drugs on soldiers.

I was in the Forces in the 70s and the trials at Porton Down were not only voluntary, but the volunteers got extra pay for attending. I recall seeing several lads with circular scars on their arms from 'chemical' tests.

Not detracting from your comments, but it is also possible that the some of the cause of the attrition rate of 'soldiers' from the 50s dying in their 50s and 60s was due to the huge amount of smoking and drinking at the time, and that they had probably just come through the war too.
