Wyeth isn't the only pharmaceutical company that manufactures addictive antidepressants. That's one correction I'm making. And a clarification: By vulnerable, I didn't mean that the soldiers with the guns and explosives were defenseless, I meant the civilians. Although deployed military are probably in some way defenseless to decide on their own treatment, they still have guns and stuff to blow things up and armor, which makes them less vulnerable and gives them better defense against doctors pelting them with meds. I am, by the way, against leaving soldiers in the battlefield to take meds when they should be sent home on medical. But I'm not in the military, and I don't have any relatives in the military, so I'll leave that for others to hash out. I told Senators Coleman and Klobuchar and Rep Kline what I think of it, so we'll see how nothing happens for a long time.
