This article is 100% unadulterated owl shit. Drug testing was implimented in 1971, at the peak of it's alleged "useage." 4.2% of GIs tested positive. Source:UNHERALDED VICTORY by Mark Woodruff.
Drug use was no higher in VN than back on the block. Another myth perpetuated by the left.
Zero GIs (or at most ONE) defected to the enemy. If drug use was so prevalent among GIs, far more would have "gone native" or crossed over to the enemy.

In two years I served with a total of 600 shipmates in my naval air squadron based ashore in Vietnam. A few were found to be using drugs, but so few we hardly noticed their departure. Not a flight was missed; not a mission lost to "drug abuse." "The Drug Horror of Vietnam" is just one more tired Left Lie to help them justify their cowardice, self-hatred, and anti-Americanism.
