Whoa, that stuff really works. Not only did it get bigger, the Admiral managed to both get promoted, and receive the Distinguished Service Medal while the pill was working its magic. He must have pleased someone.

That is a drop in the bucket. IIRC troops can only get 3 or 4 a month.
How much is spent for by welfare recipients?

I bet a lot is related to PTSD. One of the many side effects to the drugs use to treat PTSD is impotence.
So they give a drug to treat the side-effect of the other drug.
Stuff happens to guys; when I get old and need this stuff, I am sure I will be happy it exists.

Wish they had that stuff around when I was in the service. We were having to crush and grind the horns of rhinoceroses by hand, and mix it with fur from the tail of a snow leopard, and rarely were any of us promoted afterwards.

Yep. This is a bit of smoke and mirrors - distract us from the bigger wastes in our government/military (starting with a lot of foreign aid).

The contracts were filed under "Troop Support." I'm surprised they weren't filed under "Readiness."
