[In the meanwhile, 3 good soldiers were gunned down in front of their hotel, other people speculated about whether it could be a drug deal or what, but you were so elaborate in your describing of the men and what they could be as men.]


Only because you suggested their vetting was so thorough, they couldn’t possibly be drug users. I pointed out that Green Berets were convicted on drug smuggling charges.

We’re fogeys and dinosaurs. We have a censorious attitude towards drug use. Young people - they look at drugs the way we look at alcohol. Do I wish it were otherwise? Sure. But societal mores have changed, and not necessarily for the better.

Having said that, I’ve never been judgmental about drug use. I don’t view it as a moral defect. I think it’s a mistake. The problem with drugs is it can take over your mind and enslave you.

I don’t think these kids are bad people. They’re just young, dumb and all the rest.

Good luck.
