As of April 2007, about 1,426,700 people are on active duty in the military with an additional 1,458,500 people in the seven reserve components.

No idea- I'm not really taking Ritalin, just a continuation of my "can't focus" comment. I don't even know who manufactures Ritalin.

It's Novartis, which used to be part of Ciba. Ciba is a Swiss company, and first patented "ritalin" in 1954, as a cure for Mohr's Disease. It wasn't until the 60s it was used to control ADHD.
