I was listening to the radio when they said that the medicial industry is
looking into micro robots that could be inserted into an ill persons bool
stream and program them to attack the injury or illness. Imagine that every
soldier has these micro robots that would start healing wounds the moment of
injury. All you will need to do is keep the wounded soldier quiet and let the
robots do the job.

conditioning of human soldiers from birth through adulthood and what happens
when they are no longer needed.

Outer Limits episode starring Michael Ansara as a warrior from the future, and
one of my favorites, Joe Haldeman's Forever War, which might be subtitled One
Vietnam Vet's answer to Starship Troopers.
Natch, since starting this note, I've forgotten a few that came to mind.
