Hello Mike, by that reasoning, it would make sense for any society to enslave their soldiers, to make them dependent on some drug. Historically, such armies haven't done well, and their societies were no nice place to live. Think of the Soviet or Iraqi armies, which didn't dare to act for fear of the dictator.
