The Viking Berserkers were known for getting intoxicated before battles to intensify their ferocity. Is this what the US military is resorting to. Or are they scrounging for recruits who don't want to fight in a war started by the president for war in profiteering. As far as I know the US federal legal system cannabis is still illegal, a hold out for n the "war on drugs". I can't see how they justify stoned trained soldiers and still deny it to the rest of the population.
