I drink them occasionally for studying, and they are generally harmless in moderate doses. Not sure what the effect would be when used in military operations however since I have read that extreme physical activity combined with an already elevated heart rate due to caffeine intake can be a dangerous combination.

I have never touched them, I don't even drink Coke, its all full of sugar and caffeine.

New threat? I thought it was pretty clear with names like red bull and monster, and reading the ingredients. I dont think the army really cares about long term health or long term anything though.
