I think opinions will vary a lot on whether soldiers get cybered. I see
infantry with Boosted-III, tank commanders with VCRs et cetera... but I
also see _much_ longer terms of enlistment and much stricter discharge
criteria for those wishing to take advantage of that 'ware.
Others will opt for uncybered troops with shorter, easier-to-escape
enlistments. Both viewpoints have a lot of merit.
