The US Military Wants To 'Microchip' Troops - Business Insider

DARPA is at it again. This time, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has announced plans to create nanochips for monitoring troops health on the battlefield.

Kate Knibbs at Mobiledia reports the sensors are targeted at preventing illness and disease, the two causes of most troops medical evacuations.

What seems like a simple way of cutting costs and increasing efficiency has some people concerned that this is the first step in a "computer chips for all" scenario.

I guess that is okay.

I think the first thing that comes to mind is, every soldier being on an operating table while some doctor puts a microchip in their head.
