[In the United States alone, more than 16,000 people die each year due to NSAID-related gastrointestinal side effects and an additional 100,000 people are hospitalized.]

16,000 deaths PER YEAR?!?!

Forget the War on Terror. Maybe we should redirect our efforts to fight the "War on Tylenol, Excedrin, and Motrin".

Answer 1

Well, I guess when we consider the Billions of dollars spent for military technology it good to see it being used. Kind of reminds me of people who buy a Treadmill and then use it as a coat hanger. If, you spend the money then use what you spend.
