If they teach the Thai kids to dive to get them out of the caves they should drug
them so they don't panic. Actually they should be on something right now to reduce trauma. It is just heartwrenching. I hope all those fearless navy seals and cavers can find another easier way out.

9. They can be really specific with the drugs that will not reduce alertness but suppresses
fear and anxiety. They have access to any drug in the world at this point.

31. Of course they need training. But they also need meds that calm fear and do not affect
alertness.

36. I'm on meds for ptsd. I know how it feels to be medicated not to fear. I am alert.
I have scuba dived. I would not be less of a diver with the meds I am on now. I can think perfectly clearly. We'll have to disagree.

52. Fighter pilots are on drugs when in combat.
There's no obstacle in life that can't be overcome when you're on drugs.
From what I've heard, there are a lot of smart people working on keeping these kids alive and ultimately getting them out.
My only suggestion to the rescuers would be to not seek advice from democrat underground.
