Howdy SomeGuy,

You pose an interesting question...I reckon,that alot would depend on the type of weed,that a soldier smoked..however-the first duty of a soldier,is to follow orders..and not be yapping in the superior's ears..especially during combat. Also,things that make perfect sense,when you're stoned,are sometimes ,absolutely ridiculous,in the real world...lol.

There may very well be,soldiers that are gittin stoned over there..I bet that there's afghani hash and kick-ass weed available over there,much more so-than in Saudi,where drugs can git ya a death sentence..if you're not careful. I know that soldiers in the Vietnam war,got high on some dang good weed..but I'm not sure how well they functioned in combat,while stoned. I've seen several movies that depict stoner soldiers,as being mostly un-reliable,or too gung-ho..or just plain nuts...lol.

As a veteran,I myself,would probably not be stoned,while on duty-especially when the lives of my fellow soldiers,depends on me being able to react quickly,calmly and logically.

To my fellow veterans and soldiers: What say you ?

Have a good one...Torog
