Should Energy Drinks Be Banished from Bases?
Energy drinks have become the top-selling cold beverages on Army and Air Force bases across the world. Now two doctors, concerned about the deaths of more than a dozen people who have consumed the drinks, have suggested that the beverages be banned from the military completely.

When disaster strikes anywhere in the world, the victims’ most crucial needs are rescue, cleanup, supply distribution, and infrastructure repair – skills that many members of the armed forces have honed through years of experience.
