Barbiturates are still very much used. I regularly give phenobarbital to people in alcohol withdrawal.

People are forgetting all of this. I was stationed at Ft. Carson. The average monthly rent in Colorado Springs is $1500, monthly health insurance premium $370, food for 1 $300.
That's 24k a year in benefits without considering the GI bill. Some states, like Illinois, will also pay for 4 years of tuition/fees to CC and state schools. Illinois does this with the IVG (Illinois veterans grant).
My 4 years of service was well worth it.

It's given multiple times a day, every single day in the ED where I work.
