A lot of drug money is used to finace Taliban and al Qda. It is also sustaining drug culture in Inner city areas. Patriotism it seems is for sale when it comes to drugs!

You have a point. By using certain types of drugs, such as heroin, you are providing a financial source for the Taliban and other terrorist organizations. So yes, to a certain extent, patriotism is for sale. But the same can be said of oil. By using oil, the price of oil is high, and mid-east countries can afford to buy weapons.
I am afraid it is a complicated world.

I don't get you...your question reads to me to also say that doing drugs would save our troops. No way. Now maybe what you are trying to get at is that the U.S. demand for drugs is engaging us in global conflict and creating reasons for our soldiers to face death. This I would agree with, although there are more variables, oil being a huge one not to be overlooked. Anyhow I'll focus on drugs. But your question seems essentially a double negative, so I am confused with your whole statement. So far as patriotism goes...Addiction is rampant throughout our society, in many ways: insidously, with legal things such as alcohol, pharmaceuticals (especially for all the new mental disorders now being diagnosed); latently, as with behaviors like juridification, or mass consumerism, and blatantly, as with street drugs like meth and crack. This, to me, is indication of a failing culture, one in which true human expression is being trampled in order to sustain the profit motive of those at the top of the capitolist food chain. Citizens are increasingly dysfuntional in a culture that is increasingly oppressive. Addictions spring up in countless ways as people try to compensate for the pointlessness of everything, not to mention, to avoid the painful truth about the war machine we've turned into.

You've made some statements here that would require some facts, do you have them? where do you get your information.
As for one that answered, where does she get her information? or is she answering as a product of her imagination, I think she should use her own information and "get real" that she dares to assume our troops use drugs to "get through" the day.
My Grandson has been there for three years now and is not on drugs.

Are you trying to say American Soldiers don't use drugs?
Get real!
How the hell would they get through a day?
