You aren't kidding, Dirk. That's deja vu way back to
the middle ages. During the Crusades a secretive
Muslim cleric called the Old Man in the Mountain would
send hash smoking village youths called Hashishins on
suicide missions down into Templar camps armed with
nothing but scimitars to slaughter them in their
sleep. So now its adrenaline. Arguably more effective
than pot on a suicide mission. Incidently Hashishin is
where the English word assassin originates.
