Rockfish we're all proud of you for how you have tamed the tiger.
Having grown up in a military family I definately know what alcohol is about. I think that there are more functioning alkys in the service than anywhere else. Being an old guy booze was the only temptation that I was really exposed to until Vietnam. There was no crack or meth, but everything else was there. Do you think that we trusted our lives to dopers? If the military justice system couldn't handle them the regular straight troopers did. It wasn't pretty but it was effective. Now with crack and meth so prevelant in the US the situation is becoming worse. This stuff gets a grip so quick that treatment options are really limited. If we as a society don't come to grips with the issue we're going to lose a large percentage of our youth to these synthetic drugs.
