celebrates 36 years of a thankless task:
Fighting the “War on Drugs.” But if was really a

Military Had the Lead in the War on Drugs
10> The Cav would scout out the high ground.
9> SEALS would take a crack at it.
8> Drill sergeants would just say “Drop and give me fifty.”
7> Snipers would take pot shots.
6> DARPA would recruit those guys who make meth in their
basements, with their knowledge of drug science and
willingness to experiment on humans.
5> Marines would shoot ‘em up.
4> Cooks would bring flamethrowers for marijuana fields, and
carry snacks in case they accidentally inhaled.
3> Infantrymen would fire automatic rifles into ditches, to
eradicate all traces of ditchweed.
2> Top Guns would quench their need for speed.
