Ah, you're assuming long-term coldsleep--multiple years.  Being a
troopsicle
for a few months wouldn't have as pronounced an effect, I wouldn't
think.

Is there a scenario which would require long-term coldsleep and does not
involve slower-than-light interstellar travel?	(Other than, perhaps,
ESU
troops who're assigned to "the Reserves")
