You’d be foolish not to use any drug that might give you an advantage in something as dangerous as war. The long term risks of abuse or addiction are irrelevant when you might get killed tomorrow. Not to mention the fact that the vast majority never became addicted.

[@Amerwiccan]

Pretty sure a lot came back from Nam addicted

[@noahmoore2608]

Truth. It was done in a report that only about 6% actually became addicted. This is because they didn’t use the same people over and over. In war, you’ll send in certain squadrons to do certain jobs. Once an area has been successfully locked down by artillery, guard duty is next. They take one to keep them up...they rest to sleep it off and give each other breaks to come down.

Your addictive personality causes you to develop habits quickly, not the other way around, I'm like that, I know I'm like that and I stay away from anything that might develop a habit. Im already addicted to nicotine and a couple other harmless things.

[@dickJohnsonpeter]

@@chuchialfaro2966 that is more accurate, yes but It wasn't until that was introduced that it started happening. It may have been more how habits were forced into me for so many years during my time in the Air Force and by the time I was introduced to that it was.

Cool video. I'm surprised no mention of the experimental use of LSD in the Vietnam War. Apparently it seems to be linked to the wide spread cases of "flashbacks" that veterans would experience after that war, usually for the rest of thier lives. There is a great movie called "Jacob's Ladder" (1990) that depicts the horror of being in the Vietnam conflict while being unwittingly doped up on LSD during combat and the long term implications one would endure. It's one of my favorite movies, if you find this topic intriguing definitely check it out but make sure it's the original from 1990, not the remake.
