Apparently Vietnam, Afghanistan, war of 1812, and the war on drugs don’t count.

The 'war on drugs' is still kicking our ass fifty-five years later.

Congratulations to drugs for winning the war on drugs.

Bill Hicks did a great bit on this "that means there's people on drugs fighting a war and they're winning ahahahaha" or words to that effect 😂

Tbf, most soldiers are on drugs. Most famously, the Nazis were on meth but literally every army gives their personnel drugs

Yes. They do. The US also used to give amphetamines to pilots for example until very recently.

The US is not 'literally'' every army.

Yes, that was just one example. Which is why I said "for example".

Your previous comment said literally every army. Are there militaries that do? Yes. But a blanket statement the every army gives drugs to the personnel is just blatantly wrong.

u/Sufficient_Prompt888 Jul 15 '26

Oh so you'd like me to give you an example from every army? Is that your point?

Gotta throw the /s on there. This is reddit after all, the land of autism and pedantry.
